PREFACE. 



Motto— You must benefit others 

Through your own experience. 



A close consideration of the present condition 
of the sexes will convince that all efforts of the 
Hygenic and Moral Teachers have failed to 
decrease the sexual misery, but on the contrary, 
have increased. 

The Cause must be removed before we can 
expect any success. This cause is a false rearing 
and a too stimulating diet, whereby the sexual in- 
stinct will be stronger than any warning. If social 
intercourse is based on right living it will bring 
the modesty of men on the same level as the mod- 
esty practiced by our women to-day. Then this 
unnatural animal lust and sexual disease will 
disappear and books of this nature will be things 
of the past. However, at present it is the duty of 
a Physician, in the interest of those who are pure 
and modest, to protect them from Contagious 
Sexual Diseases, especially those who believe 
they can not resist the temptation. If not, then 
this evil will only be carried farther, as the con- 
tagious poison will very often be transmitted to 
the unfortunate wife. 



4 PREFACE. 

The proof of this we have daily. Many times 
this poison has been transmitted on the wedding- 
night through an uncured case of Gonorrhoea. 
Through Medical Puffing Advertisements and 
Electric Belt Fakes , many are not only Finan- 
cially, but also Bodily Ruined. 

The object in publishing this booklet is to in- 
form such persons how they must live in a case of 
this kind and what remedies must be applied to 
receive a permanent cure; yes even more, how, 
by an immediate self-treatment further dangers 
can be prevented. Of course only light cases can 
be treated thus. All severe and difficult cases 
should be treated by a physician, but not by one 
who seeks to cure by medicine; no, only such as 
apply the treatment described in this booklet. 
Complicated cases only appear when the zvrong 
treatments have been applied. By Natural 
Treatment such a case is cured easily and quick- 
ly and these general directions are sufficient to 
effect a Permanent Cure; and the best result is 
obtained when the disease is in its first stage and 
the treatment handled with full energy and confi- 
dence. 

Many books have been written on sexual dis- 
eases but g-enerally to the detriment of the patient. 
They are either too complicated for the general 
public, or they are exaggerated in order to more 
easily sell Quack Medicines. Such is not my 
intention; no, the opposite, not to frighten you, 
but to relieve you, and to represent the diseases 



PREFACE. 5 

only in their true natural way; to prescribe all 
treatments so any one can apply them with hardly 
any expense. / have nothing to sell yon but much 
to tell that will be of great benefit to yott. My 
sincere hope is that this booklet will also be read 
by young- ladies and mothers; only when a person 
knows his enemy can he protect himself from him. 

The ig-norance of a great many women in sex- 
ual matters is, at the present time, ordinarily very 
great and is due to wrong- ideas. The youthful 
erring-, self-abuse, etc., as well as sexual diseases 
are very often caused by ignorance of the sexual 
organs and their functions; as well as the dang-ers 
caused by an unnatural use thereof. Enlighten- 
ment is necessary and many evils will be pre- 
vented. 

And now, my Little Booklet, wander 
through the world and do great g-ood as I expect 
from you. Teach the Healthy to Keep Well, 
Heal the Diseased, and Protect the Women. 
Enter into every family rich or poor, and bring 
blessing to them all. Do not let the puffs and 
knocks discourag-e you. Combat where you are 
confronted. The Victory Must be Yours for 
You are Battling with the Strength which 
is the Truth. 

Tell the Mockers and Skeptics: Test First 
and Then Decide. 

The Author. 



CHAPTER I. 

SELF-KNOWLEDGE. 

Through ignorance, I must say, most evils are 
brought on; and I will therefore to the extent of 
knowledge, bring light where there is darkness, 
strengthen the weak, and warn those astray. The 
curing of sexual diseases is often very difficult, 
especially when they have not been treated 
naturally in the beginning, and have often existed 
for months and years; hence it is dangerous to the 
community as the patient forms a source for dis- 
ease. I will therefore principally endeavor to avert 
sexual diseases. 

It is to be wondered that, at the present time 
when everything else is making such great head- 
way, so little is known of our own human system. 
Nothing is more necessary in our public schools 
than the study of anatomy, physiology and hygiene. 
It has already taken hold and in some schools some 
very good results have been obtained. A child's 
attention is thereby attracted to the destruc- 
tiveness of the use of liquor and tobacco. A step 
farther, a child should be instructed in sexual 
matters, and many, very many diseases would be 



8 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

checked and much sorrow and misery prevented. 
Many books are published whereby adult or 
child can learn the functions and organs of the 
human system, but I will give here a short descrip- 
tion of the generative organs because many of my 
readers may not have had the opportunity of read- 
ing or seeing such a book and would therefore not 
understand as readily and easily. I will describe 
those organs which generally carry poisonous mat- 
ter into the system first, and afterward describe 
the different afflictions caused thereby. 




THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 



CHAPTER II. 

MALE SEXUAL ORGANS. 

These organs are divided into two parts, de- 
signated according- to their position, exterior and 
interior. In a male we find exterior, a scrotum, 
two testicles, and the penis; and on a female only 
the pudendum. 

SCROTUM. 

The scrotum is a bag or pouch which hangs 
between the thighs; within which are the two tes- 
ticles divided by a sheath, the left one generally a 
little lower than the right. This is natural because 
if they were on a level they would strike one an- 
other and could cause damage easier when running 
or jumping. 

At the age of manhood curly hair grow on and 
about the scrotum, the color of which is very dif- 
ferent and not at all like the hair on the head. 
It is called pubic hair. It may grow up as high 
as the navel. 



10 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

TESTICLES. 

The testicles are two, egg-shaped about the 
size of a dove-egg, movable glands, which secrete 
the semen from whence it is carried into the two 
epididymis, which flow in a canal (the spermatic 
duct) to the seminal vesicle. Each testicle is en- 
closed in a tough skin which shows a thickening 
towards the inner project, the socalled corpus 
highmorianum (an imperfect fibrous septum in 
the testes). The proper tissues of the testicles 
are fanshaped in 100 to 200 cone-like lobules, the 
points of which extend towards the corpus high- 
morianum. Each of these small lobules consists 
of one or more seminal tubulars, which unite and 
finally enter into the corpus highmorianum. There 
are about 700 to 800 of these minute semen chan- 
nels. Their entire length being about 800 yards. 
The testicles may not be seen until puberty hav- 
ing been stored in the abdomen. Sometimes there 
is only one testicle. The left testicle is generally 
larger than the right. 

EPIDIDYMIS. 

The epididymis, two small bodies lying above 
the testes already mentioned above, are located at 
the rear end of the testicles, representing a slight- 
ly curved cord with the head upward and the 
thinner tail hanging down. Irritation of the urethra 
will bring the epididymis in joint suffering and 
cause inflammation of the epididymis (epididy- 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 11 

midis), which become painful and red, swell and 
stretch, and are especially noticeable in cases of 
gonorrhoea. 

SPERMATIC DUCT. 

The spermatic duct together with the nerves 
and blood vessels form the spermatic chord, which 
extends upwards through the inguinal canal into 
the peritoneal cavity (abdomen) to the base of the 
bladder where it ends in the seminal vesicle. The 
semen created in the testicles is therefore not 
squirted out immediately upon copulation but af- 
ter being prepared in the testicles is gradually 
stored in the seminal vesicle, situated between 
the bladder and rectum, in which sufficient semen 
is kept for several intercourses. 

SEMINAL VESICLES. 

The seminal vesicles are two long spiral mem- 
branous bags from which the two spermatic ducts 
lead down to the penis to be administered into the 
urethra. At this entering point is a small puffed 
valve, the socalled colliculus seminalis. The duty 
of this valve is about the same as that of the larynx, 
to lock the orifice of the spermatic tubulars, and 
in the act of discharging the semen, and at the 
same time hindering the urine from passing into 
the urethra. 



12 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

PROSTATE GLAND. 

At this point below the bladder at the rear end 
of the urethra the same is surrounded by the pros- 
tate gland, a muscle enveloped chestnut-like 
gland. The prostate gland is composed of 30 to 
50 grape-like glands that open in 12 to 15 evacuat- 
ing tubes. Here the secretion of the prostate 
gland is discharged and is mixed with real semen 
when emptied out. 

COWPER GLANDS. 

The cowper glands are two small glands about 
the size of a pea, in front of the prostate gland 
and they also discharge slime. 

I will demonstrate how dangerous an inflam- 
mation of the prostate gland (prostatitis) is, and 
how same is caused. 

Irritation of the prostate gland is very easily 
brought on: namely, through an inflammation of 
the urethra, as in gonorrhoea, which makes the 
urinating and evacuation of the bowels very diffi- 
cult and painful. This has a tendency to make 
the patient neglect the emptying of the bladder 
and bowels. 

For bicyclists it is advisable during gonorrhoea 
to quit riding until the disease has been entirely 
cured. Even healthy men are subject to prostati- 
tis, caused by pressure or strain of a saddle. A 
divided cushion saddle is therefore the best to use. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 13 

PENIS. 

The penis in its relaxed state hangs in front 
of the testicles. It is cylindrical and covered with 
a fine hairless skin. The length of the penis 
varies, and has no relation to the size of a man 
In its relaxed state it is about two to four 
inches long and about one inch thick. A thick- 
ening as well as lengthening is caused by a 
filling of the blood vessels of the penis, w T hich 
can be caused by sexual irritation and also through 
disease, and furthermore through constipation and 
accumulation of urine in the bladder. Through 
rubbing, and by the entering of the penis into the 
vagina a pleasing sensation is felt, which sensation 
discharges the semen. The condition in the sexual 
intercourse differs in different persons. In some 
persons this delightful sensation appears in a 
trembling form; in other individuals its height is 
reached in the form of immoral bodily excitement, 
which brings on an acceleration of the circulation 
of the blood, throbbing of the arteries, venous 
.blood being held back by contraction of the 
muscles, increasing the warmth of the body, and 
this obstruction of the venous blood in the brain 
is increased through contraction of the muscles of 
the neck and the upright holding of the body, 
caused by immediate congestion of the brain, at 
which time the mind and all mental functions are 
affected. The eyes are red through congestion of 
the white of the eye (conjunctiva tunica) and be- 
come staring, unsteady and close spasmodically. 



14 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

ERECTION. 

The effect of the will upon errection is 
without influence, and it is impossible to induce, 
bring- on, or discontinue it at will. Only indi- 
rectly through enticement, nude pictures and lust 
can an erection be induced, and it can be relaxed 
by cold, for instance cold water; because warmth 
induces and cold hinders or prevents an erection. 

SEMEN. 

The semen is a thick white sticky thread-like 
almost transparent fluid, and has an undescribable 
smell. Vauquelin called it "spermatin." Formerly 
it was called 4 l aura seminalis, ' ' the fruitful strength. 
The semen is not a simple or homogenous 
fluid, but a mixture; a secretion from the testicles, 
seminal vesicle, prostate and other minute glands. 
The spermatozoid threads or chords are small 
ovoid heads with a delicate thread-like cilium or 
tail. They wig-gle incessantly, the quickest im- 
mediately after ejaculation, whereby they work 
themselves forward. Spermatozoid is very small, 
on a medium sized grain of sand about 50,000 of 
them could be counted. 

IMPREGNATION. 

Impregnation is caused by the penetration of 
a spermatozoid into the ovum (egg) of the female, 
either in the ovarium or fallopian tube. After the 
ovum enters into the uterus unimpregnated no im- 
pregnation will take place. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 15 

GLANS PENIS. 

The glans penis is the foremost direct part of 
the penis. It is covered with a delicate red skin, 
and is generally protected in its natural state by 
the foreskin (prepuce). Through the lengthening 
or stiffening of the penis during conception the 
prepuce draws itself back, or rather at the time of 
erection. During childhood this foreskin is gen- 
erally very tight and does not admit being pulled 
back, but it widens toward manhood (puberty). 
Sometimes the foreskin remains tight whereby the 
cleaning and conception are aggravated so that an 
operation (circumcision) must be performed. 

At the crown or back portion of the glans penis 
and at the groove are found numerous small glands 
which constantly throw off a peculiar strong smel- 
ling white substance, the socalled sebaceous; 
which save the glands from friction and keep 
them smooth and soft. We observe that, in per- 
sons where the foreskin does not cover the glands, 
whereby the formation of sebaceous is prevented, 
the skin of the glands becomes dry like the outer 
skin, and looses its enticement and sensitiveness. 
With others where the foreskin is tight and long 
we observe a distinct irritation, because the sebac- 
eous which forms and is not carried away so 
easily as on an outer surface is collected in masses, 
dries, hardens and forms a socalled praeputial or 
prepuce stones. 



16 THE NATURBL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

Through accumulation of sabaceous a strong 
enticement is noticeable, whereby the foreskin as 
well as the glans penis can swell and inflame, 
making- it impossible to withdraw the foreskin. 
Also irritations of the nervous system and the 
digestive organs. Therefore cleanliness is espec- 
ially necessary at this particular place. Not only 
now and then but every day a cleaning is neces- 
sary. Also before and after an intercourse the 
glans penis must be cleaned. Bear this in mind 
and many evils may be prevented; not only on 
your own person but also on your wife. 

The cleaning of the glans penis where the 
foreskin is too long and the sebaceous formation 
to strong must occur every day with luke-warm 
water. The skin is drawn back and dried thor- 
oughly after washing. 

MASTRUBATION. 

Mastrubation and loss of semen can be caused 
through irritation of hardened sebaceous. In case 
the foreskin after puberty is too tight and long so 
that it cannot be drawn back without pain, a 
'cause which inheritance phimosis to designate it 
from phimosis that often appears in cases of syp- 
hilis (as in cases of chancre), and is a hindrence 
in executing the sexual act. An operation must 
remove this by cutting off the foreskin (circum- 
cision). 

Circumcision or cutting is performed on every 
hebrew; and few sexual diseases we find among 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 17 

them, as the foreign matter is not preserved after 
an impure intercourse. The friction on the fore- 
skin cannot cause an irritation, nor can the poison 
enter the system so easily. Chancre is very sel- 
dom. Every child whether Hebrew or Christian 
ought to be circumcised. 

The glans penis is the most enticing- gland 
on the masculine system although manv men, 
through destruction of the gland, caused by gang- 
rene or amputation are not capable of performing 
sexual intercourse.

CHAPTER III. 

ONANISM. 

SELF- ABUSE. 

The widest and most general error of all er- 
ring- is onanism or mastrubation. Hereby is meant 
a discharge of semen at any other time than dur- 
ing sexual intercourse, bringing on the nervous 
excitement created during sexual intercourse. 
Onanism is an appearance which has its origin in 
a weak constitution and weakness of the nervous 
system, and the product of inheritance of bodily 
weakness, a false rearing, our ever enticing civi- 
lization, as well as an unnatural mode of living. 
Nothing proves these facts more- than the great 
army of victims which is composed of all classes. 
Many books have been written upon this deep 
subject of erring, but very few that are really 
worth reading. Most of them abound in gloom 
and make their readers melancholy; yes, 
even driving them to suicide. The effects of self- 
pollution are generally pictured so dreadful that 
persons subject to the same believe themselves 
totally lost. Often such books have caused this 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 19 

feeling-. They are published to the detriment 
of the community and for the benefit of 
quack doctors, or nation miners who have some 
useless medicine to sell. At the close of these, 
books we see these medicines advertised in such 
glaring- letters as to make the people believe 
that they are the only remedies that will give re- 
lief. Now if a person has not yet been ruined by 
self-pollution this medicine will surely ruin him. 
Beware of all these. 

If we examine onanism closer and from the 
right point of view we must divide it into two 
stages. An acute or partial and minor cases 
and a chronic or longer and more violent case of 
self-abuse. A case of self-pollution which has 
only been practiced a short tin^e by the youth or 
girl seldom leaves any serious effects and if in 
later years they blame their disease to their youth- 
ful errings they are greatly mistaken. It is a very 
easy matter for the nervous system of some per- 
sons to be affected after reading such misleading 
books due to the auto-suggestion of the reader. 

Now for instance if I were to suggest, to myself 
day after day that I was in an early stage of 
spinal cord disease, and that the symptoms of soft- 
ening of the brain was already making its appear- 
ance, etc., I would be in a very short time neur- 
asthenic through and through. My nervous sys- 
tem would collapse under the constant strain and 
fear, and the fear and anxiety of getting these dis- 
eases could actually bring them on. 



20 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

With a natural, reasonable living- and a mod- 
erate indulgence in sexual intercourse you will in 
later years never feel the effects of the once slight- 
ly practiced self- abuse. ' The effects are different 
though if self-pollution had been practiced before 
puberty. It is almost impossible to believe that 
children from four to six years of age have indulged 
in onanism. Prof. Rohledder has stated that even 
infants two to three months old have practiced 
onanistic rubbings. Of course these infants have 
no knowledge of the consequences thereof. It is 
simply a movement of the sexual organs which is 
at first not noticed. In these cases which happen 
very seldom there are diseased troubles which are 
often hard to remove. Even onanism practiced 
at the age of ten years is often very fatal and diffi- 
cult to remove. Were it not for this evil 
practice most of our insane asylums would be 
empty. In the years of infancy there is no dis- 
charge of semen but the injury of the system is 
just as great. 

Onanism practiced in early years by youths 
with energy and regularity is said by every prac- 
titioner to weaken the system at the time of pub- 
erty and is seldom noticeable before. 

The thought that injury is only done to the 
system when semen is discharged should be ban- 
ished. Research has proven that the loss of sem-.^ 
en, as valuable as it is to the system, is hardly to $ 
be compared with the injury caused to the nervous 
system. It is a sort of mental onanism that ex- 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 21 

hausts our entire nervous system, and is possible 
without continence towards the body. The same 
is brought about by fascinating- ideas and nude 
pictures. It can become a regular disease of dis- 
position. The least enticement on sexual matters 
puts such a person in suspense and excitement. 
Their entire existence becomes a continual entic- 
ing fever, which is the more weakening because 
it is enticement without satisfaction. We there- 
fore see that it is less straining to the physical 
power than it is to the use of nerve matter, and 
the dangers of onanism in childhood are seen. 
The sexual excitement of the nerves, the exertion 
and creating of same is just the same in children 
as in adults, but with the difference that in child- 
hood, when the nervous system is not yet fully de- 
veloped, it will leave lasting consequences; while 
with adults a refreshing sleep, which generally 
follows sexual intercourse, will adjust the same 
again. That the weakening of the system does 
not solely exhaust the generative faculty demon- 
strates that feminine onanism is just as harmful, 
even though she does not lose positive strength 
(semen). 

RECOGNITION OF SELF-ABUSE. 

In most cases the parents are not aware of 
their children practicing self-pollution, and 
often the visible results are attributed to other 
sources; and ofttimes the parents are just as 



22 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

ignorant as their children. Some sort of remedy 
will be used for a weakness of the body and mind 
which follows self-pollution, and as the cause is 
really not known the same will not be checked, 
and instead of getting better the child will get 
worse. To prevent this, and that parents may 
recognize this evil in their children, I will give a 
few hints whereby it may be recognized. 

At first a strange irritability will be noticed, 
the child at every occasion will contradict and 
appears to be in a frightened condition, also at 
learning, distraction is noticeable and in many 
cases bed-wetting is observed. 9 The child be- 
comes hard of understanding; loss of appetite and 
hunger alternate; the eyes become hollow 
and are surrounded by dark rings. Sometimes 
very small beads of perspiration are noticed on the 
tip of the nose. Restlessness especially evenings, 
leanness, sad physiognomy, dull eyes with wid- 
ened pupil, the features of the face become dull, 
rough voice, staring glance, often fixed, the con- 
tenance becomes dull and pale, also the lips be- 
come bloodless. The child becomes silent, lazy, 
sad, timid towards the parents, insensible towards 
the teacher and guardians, the memory weakens, 
walking uncertain, the knees shaky. They seek 
loneliness, become sensitive to cold, tired after 
slight exertions and often have cramps in the legs. 
A certain sign is that on the fingers of an onanist 
will be noticed a number of small wart-like for- 
mations. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 23 

Some authorities say that sores do not heal 
very easily on persons who practice onanism, and 
that in the scar little yellow pimples form. That 
the pupil of the eyes are turned slightly upward 
and at times outward. That such changes of the 
entire system and character brings on a disturb- 
ance in the most important organs can hardly be 
surprising. With right we can affirm that con- 
sumption and insanity are often the cause of a too 
often repeated self-abuse. A diseased onanist is 
almost similar to a neurasthenic. In fact it is in a 
sense neurasthenia whose numerous symtoms ap- 
pear in the diseased state of an onanist neurosis. 
We do not mean, however, to say that every case 
of neurasthenia is caused through onanism. 

Onanism is the main cause of diseased pollu- 
tion, spermatorrhoea and impotency. Further 
indications of onanism are very numerous. A 
person becomes lean especially in the region of the 
thighs. The muscles become soft and flabby, the 
scrotum hangs down in a relaxed condition, the 
patient realizes a sort of formication, (crawling 
sensation), upon the slightest movement a pe- 
culiar smelling perspiration is thrown off; dimin- 
ishing of breath and palpitation of the heart; dur- 
ing evacuation of the bowels and when urinating 
the patient has a feeling as though the semen was 
being discharged also. Sleep does not rest a pa- 
tient, he wakes up feeling tired, discontented 
and getting out of bed seems difficult. Headaches 
are general symptoms of onanism.

CAUSE OF ONANISM. 

The causes of onanism are very numerous, 
and are not easily located. Some causes have al- 
ready been alluded to in the foregoing article and 
more will be given below so that an accurate 
knowledge of the cause will be of great benefit to 
the parents. Prevention is here also easier than 
cure. It is of great importance to consider the 
close connection of the sexual organs and the 
organs of digestion, which may bring on 
through constipation, indigestion or worms, an 
irritation of the sexual organs causing erection. 

The premature erection of the glans is the 
cause which induces a child to self-abuse. Many 
playthings bring on enticements. A false stimu- 
lation and luxurious nourishment is often the 
cause of premature erection of the glans. Too 
warm beds as feather-beds, hot bed-rooms, and 
the sleeping together of children are causes. 
Often one child misleads the others, and also by 
servants. Reading poor books is very dangerous 
and ought not be allowed by any father or mother. 
Keep this trashy literature (novels) out of the 
house. 

TREATMENT. 

The treatment of erring will be of a mental 
nature (suggestion). Self-confidence must be re- 
gained which has been lost. The nerves must be 
strengthened to regain self-possession. L,et him 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 25 

read books which will warn him of his bad habit. 
Nourishment and clothing must be natural. 
"Idleness is the beginning of all evil," is a true 
old saying. Therefore see that the patient is 
always occupied and when perfectly tired he will 
rest quietly on a hard bed. In the morning arise 
immediately upon awakening. The cleaning of 
the entire body must not be omitted. A daily 
sponging with cold water will be sufficient if no 
tub bath can be taken. These directions with 
the use of suggestive therapeutics will cure any 
one of this bad habit. I am always ready to 
give those who are anxious all the information 
they may ask for, either in writing or verbally. 
"The illusion is short the repentance long."

CHAPTER IV. 

SPERMATORRHOEA. 

INVOLUNTARY DISCHARGE OF SEMEN. 



As already stated, it is the duty of the testi- 
cles to secrete the semen. This semen is pre- 
served in the seminal vesicle and is discharged 
through sexual intercourse. This seminal dis- 
charge should only occur under normal circum- 
stances. In some persons this seminal discharge 
is caused at other times than during intercourse 
and we then call it pollution or involuntary semi- 
nal discharge. These pollutions are very often the 
sign of disease and then an immediate and natural 
treatment should be applied. On the other hand 
pollutions can be caused by other circumstances, 
not having any disease in connection therewith, 
because we often find these discharges in other- 
wise healthy men, generally in those who shun 
women. According to the individual nature, the 
constitution, occupation or habit these pollutions 
will appear every eight to fourteen days, and are 
believed to be caused by a passing irritation of 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 27 

an overfilled seminal sac. Young- men, if such 
pollutions, should now and then occur do not be- 
come excited and run to a physician, you might 
fall into the hands of one of those quacks who 
only ruins your health and your pocketbook. In 
my practice many young men, after being scared 
and robbed by one of these money-making doc- 
tors, have come to me to be cured of these pollu- 
tions. These pollutions are to be considered dis- 
eases if they appear several times a week, and if 
a feeling of exhaustion or tiredness, a disinclina- 
tion of performing any mental or physical work is 
felt. The symptoms of pollution occuring by 
night are as follows: At first stiffening of the pe- 
nis followed by jovial dreams, and this is followed 
by a discharge of semen with distinct sensation. 
This pollution can also be experienced without 
dreaming, but a stiffening of the penis is always 
perceptible throug-h a mechanical pressure of the 
bladder or intestine. If these pollutions enter in- 
to a diseased state then these jovial sensations 
disappear. The semen becomes thinner, lig-hter, 
oderless and the number of seminal cells and 
spermatozoons gradually decreasing. With the 
increase of pollution we use another specification, 
spermatorrhoea, and the discharg-es instead of oc- 
curring during- the night also occur during the 
day, the semen often passing- from the urethra 
after stool and after urinating-. A microscopic ex- 
amination of the urine enables a physician to de- 
termine the condition of a patient. 



28 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

Through this involuntary pollution (seminal 
discharge) the entire system and especially the 
nervous system, will naturally weaken. A com- 
plete exhaustion may occur. Patients must quit 
their daily vocation because a mental and physi- 
cal occupation is not feasible. 

Do not mistake the semen discharge for the 
glutinous (sticky) secretion which is discharged 
on sexual excitement through the urethra. Nor 
with the chronic inflammation of the prostate 
glands. It is very important to be able to dis- 
tinguish these conditions; because many who 
suffer from a harmless discharge imagine they are 
losing their semen, the most precious element of 
the body, and are very unhappy for nights and 
days, causing more harm than the discharge 
itself. Yes, not only this alone, they seek relief 
and fall into the hands of a drug quack who 
not only ruins the patient financially but also ruins 
his entire system. Beware, dear reader of all 
who pretend to cure with medicine. 

The symptoms by which to recognize the 
difference are as follows: 

First, Pollution: Generally appears among 
youthful persons during the night. 

Second, Spermatorrhoea: A milky thick white 
fluid, lost after stool, urinating or during sexual 
excitement. 

Third, Secretion of the urethral glands: 
Generally only in connection with strong sexual 
excitement. A light transparant glutinous fluid. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 29 

Fourth, Secretion of the prostate glands: A 
dark, watery, yellowish fluid only caused by a 
poorly healed gonorrhoea; (a gonorrhoea which a 
quack tried to cure by injections of strong medi- 
cines). 

These symptoms are generally found in older 
persons. At this writing I am treating such a 
case. The gonorrhoea was treated ten years ago 
by a German regimental physician and the patient 
was sure he had been cured. About nine months a 
discharge began, caused by the reappearance of the 
old Gonorrhoea, not only this but the gonorrhoea 
poison which had been administered ten years ago 
traveled into the region of the kidneys, causing 
an inflammation of the bladder and kidneys. 
Several physicians had been consulted, attempts 
were also made in vain to heal the same. Through 
the use of medicine the system was only poisoned 
more, which showed its effect making the disease 
worse. The disease was wholly misunderstood. 
These men are totally blind in such cases. 

After the patient had been under my treat- 
ment for four weeks the inflammation of the kid- 
neys had been cured and the discharge had been 
greatly diminished. Only a few more weeks and 
he will be entirely cured, as we do not force the 
poison in but drive it out of the system. If this 
patient had married before he had been entirely 
cured, how would his wife, tinder these circum- 
stances, have been placed? She would most cer- 
tainly have been infected. She would have been 



30 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

sent to a physician where he should have gone, 
or at least have gone along- to be cured. The ma- 
trimonial happiness would have been distrubed 
and what kind of children would such a wife have 
born? Surely no healthy ones. 

Up to the present time physicians have not 
been able to prevent this misery by the use of 
medicine, although they desire a more healthy 
generation; but the system they use is contradic- 
tory. The following article from one of our daily 
papers will be of interest here: 

DEATH MAY COME TO SICK BABES. 

E. Benjamin Andrews foresees legal extermination of 
weak infants. 

Omaha, Jan. 25. — Society as it becomes more en- 
lightened will snuff out the lives of sickly and deformed 
infants to prevent their becoming- at maturity a burden to 
themselves and parents. As with the cradle, so will it be 
with older persons. A committee of skilled physicians, I 
firmly believe, eventually will determine the fate of those 
who are sickly, or whose recovery from disease is impos- 
sible. Such persons, if the physicians agree, will mer- 
cifully be put to death. 

It is plain that these physicians were born 
some centuries too late. What barbarous 

methods for relieving misery! Intended murders. 
Yes, public murderers they want to be. It is not 
enough through unnatural opinions, to ruin hu- 
manity. Wake up! ye people. The time has come 
to think for yourselves, and not let your child- 
ren be murdered. To the physicians I will say: 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 31 

Turn over a new leaf, quit your miserable doings 
and do not sink any lower into the slough wherein 
you have already fallen. 

It is easy to beget healthy children. If man and 
wife are healthy they cannot be otherwise. The 
duty of the physician must be to instruct the 
community how by living naturally everyone can 
be healthy and beget healthy children. Sick 
children are only born of sick parents. Women 
should take off their corsets and they will have no 
crippled children. The innocent children are 
supposed to be punished by death? The trouble is 
the physicians of to-day are treating most diseases 
without removing the cause. They bargain and 
stipulate as to how the patient should be treated. 
They usually treat the disease, whereas the pa- 
tient should be treated. 

The involuntary loss of semen can further be 
caused by catarrh of the bladder, gravel, intestinal 
worms, piles, etc. The causes must be removed 
before a cure can be expected. Self-abuse is often 
the cause of spermatorrhoea. Excessive sexual 
intercourse can also cause spermatorrhoea and 
lead to impotency. 



32 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

TREATMENT. 

Such patients cannot be warned enough 
against the unscrupulous sly quacks, who make 
all kinds of propositions in order to sell their 
harmful and worthless remedies for your hard 
earned cash. Many unheard of evils have been 
caused thereby, because they know, and hence 
feel safe, that when you find out you have been 
swindled, your shame will retard you from prose- 
cuting- them. 

Every honest physician knows that medicine 
will not cure these cases and will not prescribe it 
for them. Such cases are not to be cured in a few 
weeks. Whoever claims to cure spermatorrhoea 
in a few weeks is either ignorant or a charlatan, it 
matters not whether he claims a proud title or 
blindfolds the people through his brilliant adver- 
tising. 

Do not be misled ! Here the recovery of health 
is very slow but sure. By strengthening the ner- 
vous system, improving the disintegrations of 
blood, removing the local obstacle and injuries, 
through a suitable manner of living, carefully 
selected diet, exercise and rest, breathing exer- 
cise and gymnastics, arousing the circulation of 
the blood, as also the activity of the organs and 
skin; by the combined application of air, light 
and water. 

Here are a few points for home treatment, 
although would advise, if at all possible, to take 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 33 

a cure in some natural institute; because such 
cases require patience and endurance which the 
patient often lacks and would easily give up if left 
altogether to himself. 

Upon getting up in the morning and two or 
three hours before retiring in the evening take a 
sitz bath 80° to 85° F. of ten to fifteen minutes dur- 
ation, which is gradually cooled down to 75° to 80° 
F. a minute before the bath is ended. Upon 
awaking in the morning a cold water sponge bath 
of 65° to 70° F. is very effective. It should be 
taken in a room which registers at least 70° F. 
After a cold sponging the patient may go to bed 
again for ten or fifteen minutes, to bring on a good 
reaction. During the day apply a T bandage 
which must be changed every two to three hours, 
because a correspondingly longer warmth may 
cause pollution. Therefore it is not advisable to 
apply these bandages at night before the seminal 
discharges have ceased, and not until a strength- 
ening treatment of the sexual organs is applied. 

As without doubt the entire nervous system is 
dependent upon our nourishment, we must choose 
a diet which will assist in strengthening and quiet- 
ing this system. Heavy food and highly spiced 
victuals overheat the blood and irritate the nerves. 
A purely vegetable diet is absolutely necessary. 
All meats as well as strong spices, pepper, mus- 
tard, vinegar and too much salt must be avoided; 
furthermore, alcohol, coffee, tea and tobacco. Do 
not eat too much. Reading novels is very danger- 



34 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

ous. Anything and everything- liable to excite the 
nervous system must be avoided. Do not sleep in 
too soft a bed and do not use too warm coverings. 
Fresh air is very essential during the night as well 
as during the day. Supper should be taken at 
least three hours before retiring, and must be the 
lightest of all three meals. See that the bowels 
evacuate freely and do not forget to empty the 
same before retiring. As soon as the jovial dream 
returns the patient is on the way to improvement. 
It is a sign of recovery of the sexual weaknesses.

CHAPTER V. 

SEXUAL EXCESS. 

A definite limit of the natural practice is to- 
tally impossible, because the range of the sexual 
power is subject to great variation; age, strength, 
condition, race, etc., have a great influence there- 
on. But still we have characteristics enough by 
which a normal ability and limited, advice can be 
obtained. Sexual intercourse is generally prac- 
ticed too much and therefore my first warning is, 
beware of its frequency, especially when a weak- 
ness in the system is noticed after an intercourse. 
A normal and moderate practice strengthens the 
sexual organs instead of weakening them. At the 
age of twenty-four to thirty-six years the sexual 
power of a male is at its best. Before and after 
these years moderation is advisable. The nervous 
system, in those years were the sexual power 
is the weakest, has undergone disturbances and 
is hard to strengthen again. Sometimes physic- 
ians have advised young men to marry, simply 
to protect them from a too frequent inter- 
course. Often this misery is only increased be- 



36 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

cause the opportunity is greater. The symp- 
toms of a too frequent intercourse will be notice- 
able later by a weakness in the legs, lessening- of 
ability, chilliness, deafness, and dull pains in the 
small of the back which radiate downward. These 
symptoms are undoubtedly the cause of diseased 
changes in the functions of the sarcum and spinal 
marrow. With the above mentioned symptoms 
there develops an irritable sexual weakness. The 
irritableness in the spinal-marrow region is gener- 
ally followed by disturbances whereby the entire 
symptoms of a general neurasthenia are present 
which appear in different changeable forms of the 
nervous system. 




THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 37 



CHAPTER VI. 

SEXUAL ABSTINENCE. 

Nature has ordained that every organ should 
be used and as the excessive use of an organ be- 
comes weakened or entirely useless; so will 
its entire disuse lead to a weakening- and lan- 
guishing of the organs. To travel by way of 
the golden middle road is here also the best. The 
question seems to be very important whether a per- 
son, through self-restraint, is capable without in- 
jury to health of refraining from sexual intercourse. 
Few normally developed, healthy, strong men can 
accomplish this and if so, there are certain bodily, 
spiritual and physical functions which will not 
develop properly. Sexual intercourse seems to 
be necessary for healthy matured persons, not only 
for propagation but also for further perfect devel- 
opment of his personality. 

Through moderate intercourse the sexual vig- 
or will be maintained, yes even increased, while a 
total abstinence will weaken and diminish the sex- 
ual organs, and often leads to sexual impotency. 
Some authorities claim that total abstinence will 



38 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

make a person dispirited, inactive, dismal and sad, 
almost melancholy; while sexual intercourse will 
bring- a feeling- of relief. Yes even headache, diz- 
ziness and mania have been noticed. If there are 
authorities claiming this to be unnatural I would 
like to answer them by saying that the entire pop- 
ulation is unnatural, caused by wrong ways and 
methods of living. The renowned Mr. Lallemand 
says such supreme virtue (strict abstinence) lies 
not in human nature; then generally in all 
such cases we find no severe irritation and no 
lasting struggle; or the temptation was so weak 
that a victory could not be accounted for. If it is 
so easy to conduct oneself so long it is a bad sign 
for the masculine power. It can also be almost 
definitely admitted that an abstinent is a mastru- 
bator; therefore worse than a moderate induce- 
ment in sexual intercourse. As already stated, this 
book is published for the welfare and betterment 
of the present generation and we must therefore 
consider the present conditions. If we want dif- 
ferent habits and usages we must first make better 
men. But it is our obligation and duty to enlight. 
en the present generation, so they will know 
which is right or wrong, good or bad. Thereby 
only will it be possible for us to ward off the bad 
consequences that are subject to ignorance.

CHAPTER VII. 

MASCULINE IMPOTENCY. 

Sexual impotency is the expression used for 
the want of strength or power, in fact not to be 
able to perform conception or sexual intercourse, 
nor create children. A total inability to copulate 
takes place when no erection or stiffening- of the 
glands which is called impotency Exorgano. 
Onanism whereby the entire system and also the 
penis weakens. Locomotor ataxia, diabetes, 
chronic kidney trouble, bowel disorders and other 
chronic diseases that cause loss of vitality are 
often the cause of impotency. Impotency can 
also exist even if an erection of the glands is 
possible, through the poor, inferior semen. The 
male is able to perform his matrimonial obligations 
but the seminal fluid is lacking in spermatazoon; 
he is suffering from azospermic. The chronic 
poisoning of morphine, lead, bromide, arsenic, 
camphor, Natr. salicylicum, alcohol, etc. can 
also be the cause of impotency. Such cases are 
Toxic impotency. An impotency whereby the 
sexual organs and the entire system may be in 



40 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

perfect health, but the mechanism of the sexual 
intercourse through mental influence (auto-sug- 
gestion) which originate in the brain cause incor- 
rect activity. 

PSYCHICAL IMPOTENCY. 

Psychical impotency can be caused through 
disinclination toward the female, through disgust, 
and also through too strong affections and the 
over-excitement connected therewith; also fear on 
the wedding-night is apt to cause impotency in 
such young men as have been subject to mastru- 
bation, and by reading poor literature have become 
frightened. A few suggestions from a physician 
who understands psychology will cure this impo- 
tency very easy. 

TREATMENT 

Just as it is in a case of pollution so it is in 
these cases of masculine impotency where con- 
scienceless men try to mislead the distressed by 
offering to sell their secret remedies. Many not 
acquainted with natural therapeutics are misled, 
because the knowledge of lost manhood causes 
many to fall and we do not wonder that they try 
anything and everything to be cured. A sense of 
shame causes most of these distressed to fear their 
family physician and therefore rather hunt up 
these secret dealers. They are not aware that 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 41 

they are being- swindled! All these remedies are 
not curative, but poisonous, and only make thing's 
worse. They irritate the entire nerve system, and 
the sexual organs are stimulated to perform their 
functions again, but at the expense of the vitality 
of the system. The pleasure is short but the re- 
gret is long. The doses must always be increased 
until they reach their limit and the formerly weak- 
ened nerves are totally paralyzed. A natural treat- 
ment can now only be effectual through strong- 
persistence on the part of the patient. A home 
treatment is entirely useless, enter a natural ther- 
apeutic institute at once. -

CHAPTER VIII. 

GONORRHOEA. 

In this article I will endeavor to help many, 
very many, especially those having wandered on 
the wrong- road. I will lead them into the right 
one and with advice and assistance stand by them. 
My book is written for the present generation, 
therefore I take the people as they are to-day. As 
was said before it was written for the protection 
of our women, and the welfare of the whole 
community. To accomplish this we must first try 
and cure the sexual diseases of our men and most 
trouble of our women will vanish. 

The sexual conditions from the moment of 
birth of every tribe until marriage causes the 
greatest distress on the part of our young men. 
No guide is offered to them to show them the 
right path and the moderate use of their given 
power. The wrong social views forbid it, yes, 
the parents and guardians neglect to instruct their 
children. Therefore they must get their know- 
ledge from impure sources which ought to be 
given them in a pure manner. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 43 

There are always three roads open for a young- 
man. Abstinence, self-abuse or sporting life. 
By such rich stimulating diet, and the use of al- 
coholic beverages it is not an easy task, for our 
modern nervous generation, to abstain from sex- 
ual intercourse. For those sons from a very sen- 
sitive father it is impossible. 

But then at the same time it is well worth 
striving after and the education must be of such a 
nature that will make it possible. 

Self-abuse is very dang-erous and often ruins 
the mind as well as the system. 

Venal love is very immoral, unworthy and 
the dangers of infection are great. 

The young men are here in a sort of dilemma, 
for there are very few selected to enter a marriage 
before the temptation called on them in one or the 
other way. Preaching and moral character socie- 
ties have influenced very few to betterment. The 
forbidden fruits seem to taste the best as an old 
saying- says. Not until an entire change in the 
habits of life has taken place will there be any 
difference. 

Enlightenment is necessary in both sexes. 
Prevention of idleness and such an income for every 
father, that he may be enabled to give his children 
a good education. An education that would be 
beneficial in all walks of life. The prostitutes will 
then disappear, and then a great deal will be done 
to abolish sexual miseries. Until then we must 
be satisfied in the interest of life and the coming 



44 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

generation to try and diminish sexual diseases and 
their results. Numberless cases of misery have 
been the result of sexual infections. Thousands 
of women and children must endure frightfully 
under the causes of infection through husbands 
and fathers. 

RECOGNITION. 

Gonorrhoea is the most frequent-occuring dis- 
ease and it will be the first one that I will describe. 
It generally takes three to four days after infection 
appears with a feeling of voluptuous enticement at 
the mouth of the urethra and with increased urging 
for intercourse. After a few days this enticement 
leaves and painful sensations occur especially 
when urinating. A swelling of the mouth of the 
urethra and glans penis is noticed. At night es- 
pecially painful erections take place. From the 
urethra purulent discharges, which are called the 
gonorrhoea poison, and are very dangerous, there- 
fore be careful as a drop of this poison may cause 
the loss of an eye. 

Prevention is easier than cure as I have al- 
ready said, and will give you my dear reader the 
best remedies and advice, and hope thereby to 
prevent much evil. This advice will be worth 
hundreds of dollars, and many dear wives will be 
prevented from an infection. The best preven- 
tion, as I expect everyone knows, is to shun the 
illicit sexual intercourse, but how often will this 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 45 

advice be followed. The intention is often there 
hut the seduction is too great to withstand. 

I will help the weak and show them my 
willingness because for such there has been very 
little done, ofttimes they were only poisoned more 
and this by poisonous drugs and the injecting of 
the gonorrhoea poison into the system. 

PREVENTION OF GONORRHOEA. 

In the first place it is necessary to be sober 
during sexual intercourse because alcohol prevents 
the proper resistance of the sexual organism and 
thereby increasing the dangers of infection. Just 
before an unlawful sexual intercourse the penis 
and especially the foreskin and glands should be 
rubbed with vaseline; to withdraw the penis im- 
mediately from the vagina after the semen has 
been discharged before the penis is limbered; so 
the poison will have no chance to enter the 
pores w r hich only can happen when the penis is 
limber. Emptying of the bladder immediately 
after intercourse and to wash the penis thereafter 
in luke warm water and castile soap. 

TREATMENT OF 
ACUTE GONORRHOEA. 

Even with these precautions an infection may 
take place. We therefore advise as a remedy to 
draw out the poison which the penis or skin may 
have taken up in its pores to apply a Priessnitz- 



46 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER: 

bandage made by taking four-fold linen large 
enough to cover the sexual organs, which was 
dipped in water 70° to 75° F. and wrung out, cover 
the sexual organ therewith, and over this wrap a 
flannel or woolen bandage. To fasten the same 
securely use a so-called T bandage, a bandage 
that goes around the body and between the legs. 
This must be done as soon as you arrive at home. 
The bandage can stay on all night, it should stay 
on at least three to four hours. In the morning 
when the bandage is taken off the parts should 
be washed off with luke warm water and castile 
soap and an after dash of cold water. It is advis- 
able to put this bandage on for several nights and 
if possible take a steam bath with an after pack. 

If acute gonorrhoea makes its appearance then 
treat as follows : 

Take a cup of birch-leaf tea every morning 
and evening. Avoid intoxicating drinks, meats, 
spices, strong coffee and tea. Postum coffee is a 
very good substitute for the ordinary coffee. The 
linen bands must be thoroughly washed after 
using and dried in the open air, also the woolen 
bands must lie in the open air each day. Injections 
with a solution of milfoil (an herb) or a weak so- 
lution of salt water, a knife-point full in a glass of 
warm water, or an injection of areca catechu, 
boiled bark of oak and basilicum. Injections 
should be made as follows: The luke warm fluid 
is injected into the urethra with a slight pressure, 
with the other hand hold the urethra at the lower 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 47 

end near the scrotum with a slight pressure to 
prevent the pus or poison from being- forced into 
the urinary bladder, which is generally the case 
when medical injections are administered. Fur- 
ther, the penis should be bent downward during 
an injection. This is very important, or it will be 
better to let the injections alone altogether. Do 
not use these injections too forcibly. 

CHRONIC GONORRHCEA. 

If a gonorrhoea is not cured in from two to 
three months it is called chronic gonorrhoea. In 
chronic cases the poisonous matter has taken a 
stronger hold, as the same has penetrated deeper 
into the channels of the glands, of the mucous 
membrane of the urethra, which causes swelling 
and inflammation that will soon begin to form 
matter. These swellings are the cause of scars 
and hardening, which by accumulation bring on 
stricture and robs the patient of all happiness, 
and may lead to impotency. A treatment must 
therefore be applied that will draw out the putrid 
matter from the ulcers and prevent the forming of 
scars. The healing of a gonorrhoea depends 
greatly upon the constitution of a patient. 

Chronic gonorrhoea is not so painful; yes, often 
painless, and is therefore unheeded by the patient 
and a cure neglected. Dear reader an uncured or 
medicated (driven into the system) gonorrhoea 
can become just as dangerous as syphilis, and the 



48 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

danger of infection is always present. It has been 
cited that in a number of cases gonorrhoea poison 
crawls up into the urinary organs, which 
brings on all kinds of disturbances there. Further 
it has been proven that inflammation of the joints 
has often taken a more dangerous character than 
heretofore believed through gonorrhoea; and that 
a large part of the severe and even the severest 
gathering inflammation of the joints is caused 
through gonorrhoea. Other patients worry day 
and night with the thought that they are not yet 
cured of their gonorrhoea, their whole nervous 
system becomes ruined and often leads them to 
despair, of course without any reason. The dis- 
charge in chronic gonorrhoea is very little, gen- 
erally only in the morning a more or less yellow- 
ish fluid can be squeezed from the urethra. Dur- 
ing the day a partly closing up of the urethra is 
noticed. In the urine will be seen gonorrhoea 
threads. 

TREATMENT. 

Everything prescribed in accute cases can 
also be applied in cases of chronic gonorrhoea, 
only with more precaution, and with some addi- 
tions. It require s more persistence and patience. 
It may seem to some of my readers too complicated 
and time-robbing, but it is the only safe method 
of healing, therefore do not become frightened at 
this treatment, it is harmless and very easy to be 
carried out. What is a treatment of two to three

months time, compared with life long- suffering? 

In connection with the daily washings in an 
acute case must be added at least three daily sitz 
baths of ten to fifteen minutes duration (morning, 
noon and night) commencing- with water heated 
to 85° F. and gradually reduced to 70° to 75° F. 
The erections must be prevented by cold wash off. 
Sexual intercourse must be avoided. The band- 
ages must be applied and changed every one to two 
hours, not every three to four hours as in acute 
cases. Also a daily bath or wash off with water 
75° to 80° F. Steam baths must be taken three 
times weekly. These baths must be taken in a 
warm room not less than 70° F. The alternating 
sitz bath is also very beneficial. A cup of tea 
taken every morning and evening, made of juni- 
per-berry, St. John's wort, and ramnus bark is 
very advantageous. The best for a rapid and sure 
cure is to enter a Sanitarium where all these rem- 
edies are applied. 

Dear reader, not only on account of your sex- 
ual health as already mentioned have I given ad- 
vice against this awful sexual disease, no, my 
object is not yet attained and I will, while my 
heart is full continue:. Yes, we see too much and 
it makes one's heart ache to see a dear mother 
suffer through a cause which might have been 
easily prevented. If you my reader have been 
spared and my advice of no benefit to you I will 
kindly ask you to assist me in bringing- this advice 
to such who are in need.

Health is the greatest wealth a human being- 
can possess. A happy married life is always en- 
joyed where both man and wife are in perfect 
health. Very often it is not the case, at the pres- 
ent time, it is somewhat generally common we 
might say that a woman is affected in some way 
with female troubles. It is lamentation and mis- 
ery and is largely brought on by the sexual dis- 
eases of our men. This constantly neglected dis- 
ease called gonorrhoea on the part of our men is 
often carried over to our innocent women in ma- 
trimony who must suffer much more than the men. 
At least 80 per cent of our men in larger cities 
have some sort of sexual disease. No wonder that 
the female diseases are so numerous, because 
some of the best authorities claim the incurability 
of gonorrhoea; this is a statement which a nat- 
ural physician cannot endorse. A great enthusiast 
of the old school writes: "Gonorrhoea, especially 
with women is usually incurable. " The disease 
is more malicious, than syphilis and makes a 
woman considerably more sick and its infection 
always spread farther in both sexes. The female 
gonorrhoea does not only stay on the outer organs, 
but affects the inner organs also, infects the vagi- 
na, ovary and ovarian organs, even the periton- 
eum is sometimes affected. The afflicted women 
become incapable of work, whereby when afflicted 
with syphilis the daily work can be executed un- 
hindered.

CHAPTER IX. 

CATARRH OF THE 
BLADDER. 

Catarrh of the bladder can be brought on 
through different causes. Only the cases that are 
caused by gonorrhoea will be considered. 

Through an intense course or improper treat- 
ment of gonorrhoea the inflammation of the ure- 
thra passes to the bladder. The strong medical 
injections which are generally used at the present 
time are often the cause of this catarrh or inflam- 
matory gonorrhoea. All such treatments should 
be shunned. Another remedy to be avoided is 
the balsamic stuff or resinous oils, as balsam of 
copaiba, prescribed by physicians to be taken in- 
ternally in the form of capsules. 

In place of healing, these remedies bring on 
irritation and inflammation of the kidneys as well 
as the bladder. 

The principle symptoms of catarrh of the 
bladder are as follows: In the beginning of the 
disease dull interrupted pains are felt in the re- 
gion of the bladder, which gradually increase and 



52 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

radiate into the urethra (a small tube to expel the 
urine from the bladder) and is almost intolerable 
in passing- urine. The irritation in the bladder is 
continual and the urine is emptied by drops which 
brings no relief. A urine retention can be caused 
by inflammation of the sphincter muscle of the 
bladder and through its swelling obstructs the 
passage. 

THE URINE. 

The urine when first emptied from the bladder 
shows very little change; at times it smells strong 
and sour, but after it has stood a while it changes 
its appearance. Its clearness disappears; light, 
dull and cloudy formations appear, they increase 
in dimension, conglomerate and gradually settle 
in a thick strata at the bottom of the glass. If the 
inflammation is very violent small blood vessels 
will burst in the bladder, giving the urine a more 
or less dark red color. If the inflammation turns 
into a gathering by the forming of ulcers, then the 
settling will change into a jelly-like appearance, 
the sour fermentation will soon disappear and turn 
into ammoniac. The urine then has a sickening 
sweet smell. 

The general symptoms of the disease are fever, 
ague or shivering before the fever appears, vomit- 
ing, great thirst, etc. Eight to ten days may pass 
before the pains and other symptoms will decrease. 
Thence after the relief of the pains the patient 
gradually recovers ; or it turns into a chronic stage 
which may last many months or years. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER 53 

CHRONIC CATARRH OF THE 
BLADDER. 

The symptoms of chronic catarrh of the blad- 
der are in general trifling-. Now and then light 
sensations or frequent desire to urinate. The suf- 
ferer often realizes that he must urinate oftener 
than other persons. Further symptoms are not 
noticed if a person does not live too unnaturally. 
The only danger lies in the forming of Gravel, 
which can bring on violent symptoms of disease. 

TREATMENT. 

If a person is cured of Gonorrhoea, by 
Natural Methods as prescribed in this book, he 
will never be troubled with catarrh of the bladder, 
caused by gonorrhoea. 

If the same through unnatural treatment has 
already broken out as indicated above, the first 
thing to do is to avoid that which has brought it on. 

Bed rest is above all necessary even if the case 
of catarrh is ever so mild. 

Walking about aggravates the inflammation and 
from a mild case a severe one is formed. As Diet 
at first all solid foods must be avoided. Milk 
should be taken as a substitute for solid food. 
Thirst is quenched with lemonade, buttermilk 
and sour-milk. 

Inflammation of the bladder is caused like all 
other inflammations by congested mucous mem- 



54 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

brane. This also causes the frequent desire to 
empty the bladder, and aggravating pains. Only 
those remedies will give relief which are capable 
of removing these obstacles. Vapor baths will be 
of great service here, therefor daily vapor baths 
are taken. 

To subdue the inflammation the best treatments 
are : First, sit 2 baths of 85° F. lasting thirty min- 
utes, three times daily. Second, during the first 
stage, until the inflammation and pains are sub- 
dued appl} cold compresses 65° to 75° F. on the 
bladder every half hour, later every two to four 
hours. To relieve the dreadful pains apply hot 
poultices on the bladder and on the perineum (be- 
tween scrotum and anus). 

After applying three or four of these compres- 
ses of ten to fifteen minutes duration the pains will 
be tolerably allayed. Hot Sitz Baths do the 
same service and the otherwise so distressing urin- 
ating is accomplished with ease and a catheter is 
unnecessary. As herbs for the preparation of teas 
we recommend lime tree flowers, prepared and 
taken in the same manner as prescribed in acute 
cases of gonorrhoea, See that the bowels are 
kept open. If constipated take an injection. 
Minute cool injections into the bowels mornings 
and evenings are very good, they help to diminish 
the inflammation.

CHAPTER X. 

PROSTATITIS, 

(inflammation OF THE prostate gland) 

This gland has already been described in the 
chapter on sexual organs, so it will be unneces- 
sary to repeat. An inflammation of the prostate, 
if caused by gonorrhoea is generally brought on 
in the same manner as inflammation of the blad- 
der. Through medicated injections the poison of 
gonorrhoea is driven into the urethra, thence to 
the prostate gland; this causes the inflammation. 

The symptoms are smarting and painful pul- 
sations in the middle flesh regions, which the suf- 
ferer tries to relieve by drawing up the thighs in 
a side position. By the passing of feces the pains 
increase, which is caused by the pressure of the 
contents within the rectum upon the inflamed 
gland, often almost unbearable. Unfortunately 
there is always a great desire to have a passage of 
the bowels and the sufferer is only distressed 
more by trying to resist the same. Passing urine 
is also very painful. The perineum is very red, 



56 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

swollen, and to the touch very sensitive and hot. 
The gland is quite enlarged and feverish. Often 
a cure is effected through resolution; sometimes 
a gathering of pus or matter will be formed on the 
inflamed gland. At first divided and small they 
form during the course of the disease, under fever- 
ish ague and increasing congestion^ into an abscess 
which works its way through the rectum, the 
urethra or the perineum to the outer surface. At 
times even after the healing of gonorrhoea the 
gland will stay in an irritable condition causing 
suppuration of the prostate. 



TREATMENT 

Suppress the first stage of prostatitis by using 
cold compresses and cool injections into the rec- 
tum. If the pains have not left on the second day 
and the swelling has increased induce the swelling 
to suppurate and bring the eruption to the surface ; 
which is accomplished by applying hot water 
poultices on the swollen parts for a duration of 
fifteen minutes, three times a day. Four of these 
compresses should be applied at each time. The 
swelling will soften, break open, and in a very 
short time the matter will be discharged. Keep 
the small wound perfectly clean by washing it in 
warm water which has been previously boiled^ 
this will soon heal it up. Protect the sore by a 
bandage recommended elsewhere in this work. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 57 

CHRONIC PROSTATITIS. 

This very frequent chronic inflammation of 
the prostate gland, usually develops from an un- 
cured acute case, or it may be chronic from the 
beginning- caused by repeated destructiveness, 
chronic gonorrhoea, etc., progressing almost pain- 
less. Sometimes painful urinating when empty- 
ing the bladder, slight sensation upon pressure, 
felt when riding, bicycling, etc. The principal 
symptom is the discharge which is cloudy and 
somewhat yellow in color. Through pressure on 
the gland it is emptied in large quantities. 

TREATMENT. 

To be relieved of this trouble it is best to con- 
sult a physician, of course one that applies no 
dangerous, but uses only Natural Remedies. 
/ am always ready to give either verbal or written 
information.

CHAPTER XI. 

PHIMOSIS, 

CONTRACTION OF THE FORESKIN OVER PENIS. 

Phimosis appears when the prepuce inflamma- 
tion forms a dropsical-like swelling, so that the 
foreskin cannot be drawn back over the penis. 
The tighter the natural prepuce opening- is the 
quicker it will contract and sometimes so that it 
is difficult to find the urethra opening. If this con- 
dition is not quickly remedied, gangrene (decay) 
of the prepuce will occur. 

TREATMENT. 
These swellings are treated the best and 
quickest by applying compresses of 70° to 75° F. 
which should be changed every two hours. The 
cloths must be boiled and washed thoroughly, after 
each application. It is better not to use the same 
compresses again; the best thing to do is to burn 
them. Furthermore cleanse the inner prepuce 
with 75° F. injections of water which has been pre- 
viously boiled, and if possible apply cotton which 
has been dipped in water of 75° F. which has been 
boiled, between the prepuce and glans penis, this 
must be renewed every two hours. After taking 
off the application wash the parts well. If the 
above treatments are followed and applied correct- 
ly an operation can always be prevented. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 59 



CHAPTER XII. 

BALANITIS. 

INFLAMMATION OF THE GLANS PENIS. 

Balanitis as well as inflammation of the inner 
prepuce (foreskin) is caused by accumulated gon- 
orrhoea pus, in the prepuce-bag and disintegrat- 
ed by uncleanliness. The glans and prepuce 
are swollen and red, upon pressure there gushes 
forth a pus which has a putrid odor, this contains 
smegma preputialis (a fatty secretion of the fore- 
skin). The patient experiences an unbearable 
itching of the glans and all efforts of relief only 
cause painful burning, laceration and bleeding. 
At the same time this itching increases the sexual 
desire, henceforth when erection takes place it is 
very painful. Occasionally the skin peels off on 
the opposed side of the glans and a deformation 
of the prepuce membrane will occur later, whereby 
any erection .of the glans, sexual intercourse 
always causes a lasting pain. 

TREATMENT. 

Inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin 
of the inner membrane will NEVER appear where a 
Natural Treatment and cleanliness have been 



60 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

Employed. If inflammation and suppuration have 
appeared the first thing- to do is to remove the 
suppuration from the inner prepuce. This can be 
accomplished by using injections under the fore- 
skin with water of 70° to 75° F. every two or three 
hours — water that has been boiled is appropriate 
for this. Then draw the foreskin cautiously with- 
out using force back over the gland and wash all 
the inflamed parts with boiled water of 70° F. A 
site bath of ten to fifteen minutes- duration in water 
of 75° to 80° F. taken mornings and evenings is 
also very useful. A piece of cotton that has been 
dipped in boiled water of 75° F. and renewed every 
two hours must be laid around the gland, also 
covering the prepuce cavity and the foreskin drawn 
over.

CHAPTER XIII. 

BUBO. 

INFLAMMATION OF THE LYMPHATIC GLANDS 
OF THE GROIN. 

The acute inflammation of the groin is very 
often caused through a soft chancre which is 
brought on by improper medical treatment in- 
stead of the virus being- brought forth it has been 
driven back into the system. An inflammation 
can also be caused by much standing, walkings 
riding, dancing, or bicycling which irritates the 
abdominal organs and drives the virus through the 
lymphatic vessels into the lymphatic glands. An 
inflammation of the groin is very easy acquired 
when the seat of the abscess of the chancre is on 
the prepuce or in the glans groove of the glans 
penis, because from these parts a number of lym- 
phatic vessels lead to the glands of the groin. At 
times the inflamed lymphatic vessels can be seen 
on the back of the penis in the form of reddish 
streaks, which upon touching feel somewhat hard 
and nodular (in knots), generally this poison in- 
filtrates the vessels without a sign of inflammation. 



62 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

Buboes appear in two different forms : At times 
it is like any other inflammation, painful when 
moving- about or upon a slight pressure. It dis- 
appears when the patient adopts a natural life. 
Long fatiging walks causing sore legs are espec- 
ially in scrofulous persons liable to affect the groins 
on both sides and to enlarge the same. Even 
when the cause has been removed it will be no- 
ticeable for months and years thereafter. The pa- 
tient very often becomes frightened over this con- 
dition and consults a physician. At intervals, but 
frequently, a prunileutic fusion will happen. This 
process we generally notice during the first week of 
a soft chancre although it may happen later, even 
after the abscess has been totally healed. The 
cause of this being that the poison was stored 
in the passage of the lymphatic glands. 

The symptoms are as follows: Fever, ague, 
vomiting and headache, a dull pain is felt on the 
glands of the groin. The glands begin to swell, 
the skin over the same gets red and hot, standing 
and walking is very difficult, yes, often impossible. 
Very seldom the inflammation of the glands will 
stay at certain height. It gradually disappears 
under those symptoms of irritability and finally 
heals through a slow absorption. Most cases have 
a tendency to suppurate and break on the outside. 
The glands continue getting larger and more pain- 
ful, then it intermingles with the surrounding con- 
nective tissue and very often develops into an ul- 
cer which swells to the size of a person's fist. The 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

pain as well as the general symptoms increase as 
long as the swelling increases. At the end of two 
w r eeks the hard knots begin to soften and the 
pains are somewhat subdued. On the projecting 
parts the skin becomes thinner and thinner, until 
during a certain manipulation as by stretching the 
leg the same may burst and a thick matter will 
gush forth from the opening. A natural and cor- 
rect treatment will cleanse and quickly heal the 
wound. Most important are cleanliness and 
care. Remove the matter cautiously and do not 
allow the chancre poison to come in contact 
with the wound which may be contominated 
by the fingers or clothes thus causing another 
chancre to appear; then a general infection of the 
entire system is liable to be brought on. 

TREATMENT. 

As already mentioned buboes are usually 
brought on by an improper treatment of chancre. 
A treatment in which caustic medicines are used 
brings on this disease, therefore beware of that 
kind of remedies', shun them as you would a 
plague. Use only natural remedies and such in- 
flammations will seldom appear. 

If an inflammation of the genial glands arises, 
rest is necessary; any and all work must be dis- 
continued. First try to reduce the swelling with 
cool compresses of 40° to 50° F. changing them 
every ten or fifteen minutes. A vapor foot bath, 



64 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

t/u r ee times daily must be taken; this is to draw 
the blood from the inflamed glands, at the same 
time take a sitz bath of 75° to 80° F. of twenty to 
thirty minutes duration. This prevents congestion 
and regulates the circulation of the blood. Should 
this treatment show no improvement within two 
days, that is the pains diminished and the swelling- 
gone down; an effort must then be made to induce 
the glands to burst open and get the matter to the 
surface. To accomplish this, lay hot instead of 
cold compresses on the inflamed glands. Every 
ten to fifteen minutes these poultices are renewed 
by dipping them into hot water. In place of cold 
sitz baths take sitz baths of 95° to 100° F. three 
times daily. Hip vapor baths are also very bene- 
ficial. During the sitz bath the hot foot bath of 
course must be omitted. From four to six poul- 
tices must be applied three times a day. In about 
two weeks the highly beneficial results of these 
compresses will be noticed. The hard swollen 
knots will soften. At a certain spot the skin will 
become bluish red, thence in a very short time it 
will burst or it may be opened by making a small 
painless cut whereby all the matter will be expelled. 
Nevertheless the hot poultices must be kept up 
until no more matter flows from the wound. 

The patient having kept perfectly quiet so far, 
is now allowed to move about. To protect the small 
wound from impurities it is bandaged by laying a 
piece of cotton dipped in water previously boiled 
thereon and over this dry cotton and then a piece 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 



65 



of gauze which is fastened around the hips and 
stomach. These bandages must be renewed 
morning, noon and night and the wound washed 
with water 80° to 85° F. previously boiled.. In 
about two or three weeks the wound will heal 
leaving a very small insignificant scar.

CHAPTER XIV. 

CHANCRE. 

Chancre is a venereal sore or ulcer caused by 
chancre poison infection. It is generally located 
on the sexual organs and is caused by impure 
sexual intercourse. There are two kinds, a soft 
chancre and a hard chancre. The opinions of 
these two forms differ to the present day. The 
one side upholding, that the soft chancre has 
nothing to do with syphilis and is only latent, and 
that ulcers only appear on the sexual organs; the 
syphilis on the other hand is a general infection 
of the entire system, and that the poisons of chan- 
cre and syphilis are entirely different. The other 
side uphold that soft chancre and syphilis are one 
and the same disease. Only the severity and in- 
tensity of the poison on the one side and the re- 
sistance of the sexual organs or the entire body on 
the other determines whether only a soft chancre 
or syphilis is formed. 

It is not my intention to prove these cases be- 
cause it is of no benefit to the reader. I must 
stand by the latter for the simple reason that the 
constitution of every individual differs. First in 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 67 

resistance, second in accumulation of foreign 
matter; and, consequently the development and 
healing- of a disease must be different. How often 
do we hear when a wound has been quickly healed 
the words, "You have pure blood;" or when a 
wound is slow in healing, "His blood is impure." 
We always know when our system has accumulat- 
ed any foreign matter. This is made known to 
us when nature tries to discard it and a struggle 
ensues in the form of a fever. We also know as 
soon as any foreign matter enters our system, that 
the self-healing power, through different ' ways, 
trys to expel the poison and a battle in the form of 
a fever ensues. 

Be the organic disorder ever so mild, yes if 
only a splinter enters the skin or a little dirt gets 
into a wound, the whole system is generally 
affected. Now then, how could it be different 
when chancre poison enters a certain part of the 
system and forms an ulcer. This poison is im- 
mediately brought into circulation which causes 
the gland to swell and show very clearly by a soft 
chancre. These are the places where the system 
endeavor to discharge this foreign matter, provid- 
ing the self-healing power has not been weakened 
too much by unnatural living. I, for my part be- 
lieve the hard chancre is a further developed soft 
chancre; the poison is stronger, also the infection 
which poisons the whole system more thoroughly. 

The almost exclusive cause of a soft chancre 
is the infection through impure intercourse. The 



68 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

real place of entrance of the poison is generally 
caused by a too violent intercourse. Through in- 
significent painless and unperceived laceration 
and exfoliation (galing). Therefore sexual or- 
gans having no lacerated wound can not be in- 
fected by chancre wounds. Not only on the sex- 
ual organs do we find the chancre wounds but the 
poison can be communicated to any part of the 
human body. Now then it is especially advisable 
that cleanliness must prevail. Persons who are 
affected with such a disease must, after removing 
the compresses or come in contact with the poison 
in any way thoroughly clean their hands. Do not 
fail to remove the dirt and poison from under the 
finger nails as a scratch caused by the same would 
bring on a chancre wound. 

It is my utmost desire to advise all those 
affected with such a wound to be very careful, and 
try with strong persistence and will power to 
cleanse their system from the same because this 
infection is very strong. Often a chancre or 
syphilis has been transferred through a glass of 
liquor, table-ware, musical instrument, kissing, 
pipe, etc., caused by a small wound on the lips. 
The majority of the public has either chapped 
lips or small insignificant lacerations caused by 
sharp teeth, etc. One of these poisoned articles 
put to the lips will naturally develop into a chan- 
cre wound. 

The seat of a soft chancre in a male is very 
often on the outer surface of the foreskin and the 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 69 

groove of the glans penis, because an injury is here 
more frequent on account of the chafing- friction. 
As the chancre wound causes no pain whatever it 
is seldom noticed in the course of two to four days, 
although the poison begins to develop within a 
few hours. The small wound then turns into an 
abscess always getting larger, spreading- in surface 
as well as in depth, a uniform wound forms as 
though it had been bored out. The edges or rim 
of the abscess falls partly off. It is slightly red 
and swollen forming a wall or rim around the 
same. The base is somewhat uneven and coated 
with a yellowish matter. The abscess at first 
shows signs of enlargement but this enlarging 
soon ceases and begins to clarify. The yellowish 
matter gradually decreases and vanishes. The 
base becomes uneven and has a reddish color. Also 
the inflammation of the red rim around the abscess 
diminishes. Then the abscess begins to heal. 
Such healing takes from four to five weeks. Many 
who have been dwelling under the thought of 
grief and worry, thinking that the chancre might 
be syphilis, and to such will be welcomed the 
suggestion how to distinguish a soft chancre from 
a hard chancre or syphilis. 

If the skin of the penis is taken between two 
fingers and lifted up into a fold, you will notice it 
is soft and elastic, and easily shifted between the 
the fingers. Now then, take the abscess in the 
same manner and lift it' up into a fold, if the dis- 
eased spot feels only a little swollen or thick but 



70 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

otherwise soft we have a soft chancre; if the same 
feels hard as though a piece of cartilage was held 
between the fingers it is a hard chancre, or the 
beginning of syphilis. The number of abscesses 
also give us a clew as to whether we have a soft 
or hard chancre. The soft chancre often appears 
in several small abscesses that sometimes join to- 
gether. The hard chancre appears in one abscess 
only. The sensitiveness of the groins also give 
us information. There is a swelling in both cases ; 
in soft chancre the groins are painful when walk- 
ing or upon pressure ; the hard chancre or syphilis 
on the contrary does not and is only swollen. 
These symptoms are not alw r ays so easily and 
definitely designated as to whether this is a chan- 
cre and that syphilis. It is often very difficult for 
a physician to diagnose. In doubtful cases I 
would advise you to consult a physician, but one 
that you can rely upon. Not one that will scare 
you into hysterics, and offer you his poisonous 
medicine. Consultation can not poison you and 
you need not fear, but shun his treatment if it is 
unnatural. A treatment that will cure you 
through the application of natural remedies, that 
will not only cure the abscess but cleanse the en- 
tire system, and not bring more poison into an 
already poisoned system will be found further on. 
It is the only treatment that should be used; it is 
the safest, cheapest and most popular. Popular 
because anyone can apply it. Many serious sex- 
ual diseases have been caused, simply because no 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 71 

immediate action was paid to the same. Shame 
often retarding- the victim's action. All misery, 
suffering- and shame can be prevented. An}' one 
immediately upon infection can apply these nat- 
ural remedies, which never do harm. Thereby 
prevent a malicious disease and cure the cause. 
What a grand benefit to humanity. 

TREATMENT. 

The old way of treating was to burn or cau- 
terize the abscess with strong chemicals. It is 
not to deny that such treatment is beneficial in 
the beginning. But who treats a patient immedi- 
ately? Those that are afflicted have already had 
the disease four or five days before they consult a 
physician. By this time the poison has had the 
best opportunity to infect the entire system. Cau- 
terizing or burning- is now useless. 

The best remedy for the cure of a chancre is 
absolute cleanliness. Wash the genitals (sexual 
organs) three times a day in water that has been 
previously boiled. Lay some cotton which has 
been dipped in boiled water, but not in the water 
used for washing the private parts, on the abscess. 
On this cotton lay dry cotton which should be tied 
on by a piece of gauze. The bandages must be 
changed three or four times each day, and the 
abscess cleansed each time before applying a new 
bandage. Lemon juice is excellent to use by 
taking equal parts of juice and water, then 



72 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

sprinkle the cleansed abscess with the same. It 
will burn for a few seconds but this will quickly 
disappear. A somewhat more painful treatment 
is to take a syringe filled with hot water and squirt 
swiftly on the abscess. The matter in this way 
is mechanically removed. The hot water draws 
the blood to the affected part which causes a 
quicker cicatrization (process of healing-). The 
largest abscesses heal by this method in three to 
four weeks. There is no other method that will 
cure a chancre in so short a time. 

Not only must a direct treatment be applied, 
but a general treatment is necessary because some 
of the poison may have gone into the system, 
hence, foresight is the mother of wisdom. For 
an increased and proper blood circulation which 
accelerates the cicatrization and at the same time 
cleanses the abscess, take a sitz-bath of 75° to 80° 
F. To prevent an inflammation of the gland lay 
poultices of 65° to 70° F. on both sides of the gland. 
A so-called T bandage (a bandage made so as to 
resemble the letter T), is also very advantageous 
as it absorbs the poison. Be very cautious be- 
cause there are soft chancres that look very harm- 
less, but ofttimes they prove to be syphilis in its 
first stage. Take a vapor bath three times a week 
to prevent the infection of the entire system. A 
vegetable diet is also advisable.

CHAPTER XV. 

SYPHILIS. 

Three different reasons induce me to write a 
long chapter on this dreadful disease, although it 
was not my intention to give a thorough descrip- 
tion thereof in the first place. 

A self-treatment for a disease of this nature is 
very often out of the question. My object is: 
First, to enlighten the poor pitiful woman who, 
through the unscrupulous immoral husband or 
other guiltless means in the way of infection of 
this loathsome disease, becomes inoculated. 

Second: — To relieve the minds of all those 
who have an alarming skin disease and imagine 
they have syphilis. 

Third: — For those who are affected wdth sy- 
philis, but are very indifferent and do not think 
about getting cured. Sometimes only through 
ignorance as they are unaware of what may follow. 
For such this chapter will be a sort of a looking 
glass where they can find their disease pictured in 
bare truth, and thereby follow a call of warning. 

Syphilis, also called lust, is a contagious or 
infectious disease which arises from a poison un- 



74 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

known at the present day. There are several dif- 
ferent opinions about the origin of this disease, 
but none are certain. The oldest authorities des- 
ignate it as an ulcerating disease on the sexual 
organs and other parts of the body. That these 
ulcers have been the true syphilis we can only 
surmise. 

It was in the year 1492 when this disease 
broke out. It happened under the troops of Carl 
VIII at the siege of Naples in a contagious out- 
break. Attention was called to it in a very short 
time. The whole of Europe and all the countries 
that came in contact with it was covered with the 
pestilence which, through its quick propagation 
and also its terrible results, made known one of 
the most dreadful scourges to mankind. This 
disease continued for forty years with the same ve- 
hemence until this poison, at all events through the 
loss of strength, became weaker; and finally those 
symptoms showing us the syphilis of to-day. 

From the other side it was said and believed 
that this disease was spread by the sailors of 
Columbus; and others again believed that it was 
a descendant of leprosy. 

The present science takes it as a constitution- 
al disease. An inoculation of the whole body 
with syphilitic poison which in one way or another 
enters the system. Syphilis can be inherited or 
acquired. The latter. I will describe more closely, 
and will give to you the most important points. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 75 

If the acquired syphilis disappears the other 
will follow. Syphilis is very often acquired 
through an unclean sexual intercourse; but it can 
also be contracted through a kiss, hand shaking-, 
drinking- cup, closets, etc. Transference into 
other bodies can only happen when there is a sore 
or ulceration coming- in contact with another per- 
son having- a sore or scratch, whereby the poison 
will be inoculated. Be the scratch or wound ever 
so slig-ht this poison will find its way into the sys- 
tem as it is very virulent. 

As soon as this poison has entered the body 
it spreads quickly over the entire system. The 
blood becomes so contaminated therewith that, if 
it is transfused upon a sore spot of another per- 
son a hard chancre is immediately formed. 

We disting-uish three stages of acquired syphi- 
lis: Primary, secondary and tertiary. Primary 
or acute syphilis is the earliest stage of the disease. 
After infection an ulceration is formed which has 
a hard base, called a hard chancre. After a cer- 
tain length of time this poison passes over to the 
ing-uinal glands and causes inflammation. 

The second stag-e (secondary syphilis) starts 
in about the sixth or eig-hth week. The appear- 
ance of inflammatory rash of the skin and mucous 
membrane is a sign that the system is trying- to 
throw off this poison. Several months, yes, even 
years, the organs battle against this inserted poison. 
The self-healing power is not strong enough to 
expel this powerful poison. In a short time the 



76 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

entire system, if nothing has been done to pre- 
vent it, becomes infected. Assist this self-healing- 
power which lies in every person. Swellings 
and ulcerations develop in and outside of the 
body, on the bones, nerves, etc. This condition 
leads the disease into the third stage known as 
tertiary syphilis. 



PRIMARY SYPHILIS. 

HARD CHANCRE. 

Having described the universal syphilis I will 
now give you a clear knowledge of this disease, 
which should be shunned like plague. The begin- 
ning of syphilis is homogeneous no matter how it 
was acquired. It will be my duty to describe this 
beginning, and the results following an infection 
through sexual intercourse, as this is usually the 
place of entrance. 

It takes about two to four weeks before an 
ulceration or hardening will be noticed. The 
most frequent place of a hard chancre is, like the 
soft, on the foreskin of the glans penis. The 
chancre has also a possibility of forming in the 
urethra which happens occasionally and is often 
mistaken for common gonorrhoea. 

In females these ulcers generally form on the 
great labium pudendis (the lips of the external 
genitals) between the anus and external portion 
of the genitals, very often on the mons veneris 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 77 

(the eminence of the female pubes), or the vagin- 
ial mucous membrane. By the sense of touch it 
is very easy to recognize the hard bottom of the 
ulcer. The size of this hardening- differs very 
much, and corresponds with the size of the wound 
and the strength of the poison. It is usually the 
size of a bean. After a time the skin over this 
hardening becomes thinner, more brilliant and has 
a hue of a dark red color. Out of this hardening 
an ulcer develops which is similar to a soft chan- 
cre. The difference of disintegration (decay) is 
considerable deeper and the edges show a carti- 
laginous consistence. The ulcers are greatly in- 
flamed, but are not very sensitive to pressure, 
which is one of the most important signs or symp- 
toms to distinguish them from other ulcerations. 

The cause of syphilitic hardening is the same 
as in g-onorrhoea or soft chancre. Phimosis lega- 
tion of the penis, inflammation of the glans penis 
(balanitis), and contraction of the urethra (stric- 
ture) if the hardening is in the urethra. 

Such chang-es will only happen when the in- 
correct treatment was used in the beginning-. A 
natural treatment, where only remedies are used 
that will assist the self-healing power, the progress 
will be quite different; and no hardening, as men- 
tioned above will occur. No, never! Never!! 
Remember this, as it may save you from a great 
deal of pain and worry. Under our treatment, 
which I will explain for the benefit of my readers 
further on, this hardening will in a few weeks be 



78 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

reduced without leaving a sign. Everything- will 
disappear. Should this hardening undergo disin- 
tegration it will heal without leaving a scar. The 
natural way of healing an ulcer is as follows: 

The basis cleanses itself, suppuration and 
gathering disappears, the color of the ulcer chang- 
es to a brighter red, the hardening ^t the bottom 
becomes softer; everything is absorbed and the 
process of healing follows; thence a scar is formed, 

A general infection of the entire body takes 
place in the fourth or sixth week. At first the 
lymphatic glands become affected, and then the 
whole system is poisoned. If a syphilitic infection 
happens through. unclean coition (intercourse) we 
notice a swelling of the inguinal glands; if it hap- 
pens in a different way it will be seen on the 
glands closest to the place of infection, as on the 
neck or armpits. 

An inclination to an acute inflammation or 
suppuration we never notice in syphilis; inflam- 
mation of the glands is just the opposite of a soft 
chancre where a suppuration is the rule. Accord- 
ing to this the appearing of the swelling is a very 
slow one. 

TREATMENT. 

As already mentioned, a thorough scientific 
self-treatment in such a difficult and grave disease 
is out of the question; but I think it is my duty 
to make you acquainted with those treatments 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 79 

which should be used only, giving: you the desired 
information what can and must be done for a home- 
treatment. Follow the instructions as close as 
possible to prevent a more serious stage. Yes, 
my dear reader, by having- the knowledge of these 
natural, never harmful y always helping and bene- 
ficial remedies you can do a great deal. With a 
little common sense and will-power some can do 
everything; but remember all the instructions 
must be followed; do not neglect one; everything 
is important. It is your duty to yourself and hu- 
manity to get cured at once, and my best advice 
to you is to enter a sanitarium where the remedies 
mentioned here are used and you will never fail 
to be clean again. 

In the first few days syphilis is local. After 
this it goes to the glands and later over the whole 
body. During the time it is local it is possible to 
prevent the infection of the body by natural treat- 
ments. The disease being local the treatment must 
also be local; but I believe and recommend that 
a general treatment in connection therewith will 
be the best policy. The cure will be quicker and 
more perfect. The treatments of the average M. 
D.'s of to-day are generally operations, and they 
are also in the habit of cutting in these cases. 

If everything is cut or burned away then the 
patient can feel satisfied, as the healing will be 
quick without any after effects. But who knows 
the exact area, how far the poison has already 
spread? Mistakes often happen by imagining that 



80 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

everything- has been removed by the cutting- and 
burning process. In a short time after this treat- 
ment other knots will appear. So we see that this 
kind of treatment is indefinite and at the same time 
is very painful. I know a better treatment one 
that never fails\ and my candid advice is to use 
it at once without delay. Never wait, then you 
will always succeed. 

The local treatment is just the same as for a 
soft chancre. The ulcer should be cleansed three 
or four times a day with luke-warm water, after 
which moisten it with a solution of equal parts of 
lemon juice and water; then bandage up as you 
would a soft chancre ulcer. The T bandage as 
prescribed for gonorrhoea can also be used, but it 
must be changed three times daily. It can be 
kept on all night. After each compress the sex- 
ual organs should be washed with water of 75° F., 
that has been previously boiled. 

For a good circulation in the lower abdominal 
organs, and to soften the hard knots take an ab- 
dominal steam bath every other day. After this 
steaming the entire body must be sponged off with 
water 80° F. A sitz bath of fifteen to twenty min- 
utes duration is advisable. Later a steaming of 
the entire body should be taken every other day; 
and after this steaming a warm bath of 90° F. or a 
sponging of 80° F. should be taken. 

If a person has heart trouble then a sweat 
pack must be used, after which a hip bath of 90° 
to 95° F. T from twenty to thirty minutes duration, 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 81 

should be taken. While in the pack lay cold 
compresses on the sexual organs. To induce a 
quicker perspiration drink hot lemon water. A 
sitz bath of twenty to thirty minutes duration, 95° 
F. must be taken every morning-, noon and night. 
While in the bath the water should be gradually 
cooled down to 85° F. A daily evacuation of the 
bowels is also very important. If constipated use 
injections. 

Fresh air is a necessity. Take breathing ex- 
ercises two or three times a day. The diet must 
be dry, and be of a vegetarian nature. Alcohol, 
tobacco and strong spices must be excluded. 
Rest is also very important. The following herbs 
taken two or three times daily are very beneficial. 
Sarsaparilla, St. John's w r ort, senna leaves, juni- 
per berries and walnut leaves. If it is impossible 
to follow these instructions it is best to enter a 
sanitarium where they employ these remedies for 
a few weeks — you will never regret it. 

Never use mercury, as it only poisons an al- 
ready poisoned system. 



SECONDARY SYPHILIS. 

If the first stage of this disease is not treated 
in a natural way, and the disease spreads out over 
the entire body, then it is entering its second stage; 
which is more dangero.us. This poison being very 
strong it enters into every organ very quickly. In 



82 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 



this stage the body tries to get rid of the poison 
in the form of an eruption on the skin. In another 
place is mentioned that fever is the sign of the 
healing power trying to rid the body of impurities. 
So we notice here also that there is an increase in 
the bodily temperature. The fever often rising to 




Syphilitic Infection after the sixth to eighth week. 



one hundred and two and one hundred and four, 
then chill sets in. This fever may keep on for a 
week. Pain is felt in the head and other parts of 
the body. The patient feels exhausted. Under 
these symptoms a syphilitic rash will appear on 
the skin. This eruption of the skin (cutaneous 
eruption) forms red spots which are level with the 
skin. The size of these spots differ and generally 
appear on the trunk, arms and upper portion of 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 83 

the lower limbs. Seldom on the neck. The face 
is usually infected, brownish spots will be noticed 
on the border of the hair. This kind of eruption 
does not itch and is painless, it differs from other 
eruptions. This eruption can disappear within 
two or three months without any treatment, but 
of course it may remain longer. The bright color 
of the spots become smaller and smaller until at 
last it disappears without leaving- a mark or sign'. 

Very often in female cases white spots will 
appear on the neck after the process of healing 
has taken place. This is due to the change in 
the coloring matter of the tissues. These spots 
generally develop three to four months after an 
infection and it often takes from one to four years 
before it disappears entirely. The system of those 
affected differs. But this does not always happen 
when cases are mild. No, very seldom. Then 
the system is usually weakened through the un- 
natural way of living, and thereby the self-healing 
power. The poison differs also. 

The Flat Condylomas (a wart-like growth) 
develops like a common eruption, which is at first 
reddish and a little elevated ; but gradually a firmer 
consistency develops which gives it a wart-like 
appearance. These warts generally form on 
places where the skin rubs together, viz. on the 
inner part of the upper lower limbs, inguinal re- 
gion; on the arms, scrotum, etc. We usually 
find them on ladies on the small and large labium 



84 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

pudendis (the lips of the female extereal genitals) 
and also on other parts of the body as on men. 

Sometimes we notice these warts on the fin- 
gers, toes, armpits, angle of the mouth, groove of 
the chin, cavity of the nose, ears, and in the audi- 
tory canal. The flat condyloma causes hardly any 
trouble whatever, only when coming in contact 
with urine or fauces. Rubbing brings on itching 
and painful sensations, making it very disagree- 
able for the patient. The surface often eats away 
and an ulcer, which secretes a bad smelling fluid, 
may form, This ulcer is contagious. 

Good care and sensible natural treatments 
will heal these warts in a short time. The smeary 
secretion becomes less and less, the surface more 
even, a skin forms over it, and later a somewhat 
light spot will be noticed which will disappear in 
a short time. A disintegrating ulcer will always 
show a scar. 

CRUST ERUPTION. 

This efflorescent inflammation, about the 
size of a pen-ny, is a milimeter elevation over the 
skin, and is covered with a crust. These erup- 
tions are either round or oval. They may spread 
over the entire body. The most frequent places 
are on the border of the hair, on the neck, elbow 
and wrist joints, nose, cheeks, and in the grooves 
of the chin; with predilection for the face. Pains 
are hardly ever felt in these kind of skin eruptions, 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 85 

only when the seat of the efflorescence is where the 
skin rubs together. 

The process of healing- goes on as follows: 
The inflammatory redness gradually disappears, 
the crust begins to soften and heal leaving a 
brownish spot which also disappears later. It is 
possible that it will leave some syphilitic white 
skin spots. Scars are seldom noticed. A devia- 
tion of the same is sporiasis (a chronic inflamma- 
tory skin disease) which appears on the palms of 
the hands and soles of the feet. This is a pos- 
itive sign for recognizing syphilis as no similar 
eruption appears on these places. The eruption 
usually has a red appearance; later brownish ele- 
vated spots about the size of a bean and round. 
In the center of these spots little scales develop, 
very similar to the ashes of a cigar, giving the 
eruption this characteristic appearance. By re- 
moving one of these scales a wound will be seen 
which often bleeds. If the seat of these eruptions 
is in the folds or palm of the hand deep cracks will 
appear which are very painful. 

VESICULAR ERUPTION. * 

Syphilitic vesicular (small blisters or sacks) 
eruptions very seldom occur. It is also called 
syphilitic chicken pox." These vesicles, about 
the size of a lentil, are usually surrounded by a 
reddish area. These sacks contain a dim serum.- 
We find the seat of them on the fingers or toes of 



86 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

children who have inherited syphilis. They con- 
sist of vesicles (blisters) which burst and empty 
their prurient contents on the surface. The dis- 
charged pus, as well as the skin over the blister 




Syphilis in an infant.— Inherited Syphilis. 

dries up and forms a crust of a brownish yellow 
color surrounded by an inflammatory area. If it 
be removed we will notice an ulcer of uneven 
depth. 

The minute deep flat ulcers usually have their 
seat on the hairy parts of the body, such as the 
head, mustache, etc. They heal without leaving 
a scar except the deeper ones. These deep seated 
eruptions we find on the upper part of the lower 
limbs; heal only under great loss of substance, 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 87 

and leave a scar which can be seen years after. 
Deep ulcers very often form during the transmis- 
sion to the third stage of syphilis. 



SYPHILITIC INFLAMMATION OF THE 
MUCOUS MEMBRANE. 

As mentioned in the preceding paragraph 
the mucous membrane becomes affected as well as 
the skin only differing in anatomical construction, 
and the disease makes its appearance in a different 
form. At first we generally find an eruption of 
the mucous membrane in the pharyngeal cavity 
(throat), which consists of sharp red spots and 
covered here and there with a grey coating. These 
spots are insensible, but when eating or drinking 
anything too hot or too cold they become painful, 
The spreading of this inflammation can bring on 
tonsilitis. 

Crust formations on the mucous membrane of 
the cheeks, lips, nose and tongue are quite fre- 
quent. Not a spot on the whole body will be un- 
affected, bones as well as the nervous system. 

The determination of a permanent healing 
without leaving any functional disorders can al- 
ways be expected when a natural treatment has 
been used. The sooner a natural treatment is em- 
ployed the greater and quicker will the longed 
for healing be accomplished. The treatment of the 
old school doctors (M. D. ) is to introduce mer- 



88 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

cury into the system in the form of salves, pills, 
and hypodermic injections (injections under the 
skin). 

A great many physicians to-day condemn this 
procedure, owing- to the bad results arising there- 
from, and the compliments they have for this, at 
times wonderful remedy, are not very flattering; 
but the truth lies hidden in these compliments. 
Unfortunately they only dismiss one treatment of 
quackery; follow up another and recommend and 
use iodide of potassium. 

We do find a certain power in this mercury, 
because some of the syphilitic and mucous mem- 
brane diseases do disappear, sometimes quite 
swiftly; but this disappearing of the eruption is 
far from withdrawing syphilitic poison from the 
system. It only drives it further into the body, 
and a poison which is stronger than syphilitic poi- 
son is inoculated into the body. This shows very 
clearly on persons who have undergone mercurial 
treatment. 

I consider it my duty to call your attention to 
the pernicious results of this poison so you will 
never let it enter your body. The ignorance 
must yield, it makes no difference how some phy- 
sicians are speculating to influence ignorant per- 
sons. The truth will conquer here. How often 
does it happen that, after a person has been treat- 
ed in such a poisoned unnatural way and believed 
himself cured through the disappearance of the 
eruptions which were driven back into the system, 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 89 

he has transmitted the poison to his wife and off- 
spring-. 

This mercury, which is a metal, spreads over 
the entire body; and a great many physicians say, 
and are quite positive, that it is the cause of ter- 
tiary syphilis. It usually settles in the glands and 
bones, where the poison can be deposited for 
many years without giving the victim much trou- 
ble. Sometimes it becomes disturbed in one way 
or another and shows its disastrous effects. In 
this way it is very often mistaken for the symp- 
toms of tertiary syphilis. 

The nervous system suffers considerably from 
this mercury, Paralysis is very often the result. 
This poison is driven into the system easier than 
out. For this reason avoid bringing it in contact 
with your system. An ounce of prevention is bet- 
than a hundred pounds of cure. 

TREATMENT. 

I hope I have explained the effects of this 
poisonous stuff clearly enough to make any person 
think before undergoing- such a useless injurious 
treatment. It is not only the false and miserable 
road, but also the road to health that my duty 
calls me to explain. Yes, the only true road. A 
treatment that will bring- blessings to all every- 
where and for whatever purpose it is used, the 
method of Natural Healing. It is a system of 
healing that will never forsake us. 



90 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

In this case of secondary syphilis a self-treat- 
ment is almost impossible; for a quick and per- 
manent result enter a sanitarium; but I will, just 
the same, explain the treatments that must be 
used. Nature also shows us the road to relieve 
the system of this poison which is through the 
eruption of the skin and mucous membrane. It 
only needs assistance in the process. We find the 
best and most natural remedies in steam and hot 
water baths. This process draws the blood and 
the poison to the surface of the skin. The inflam- 
mation and eruption will develop more freely after 
the first few baths; this being due to drawing- the 
poison to the surface of the body. After a short 
time they gradually disappear and heal as the 
poison has been withdrawn from the system. 

These baths must be taken Every Day, or at 
least every other day, as long as there are any 
eruptions. Yes, it is best to keep on for six or 
eight weeks with these baths after the eruption 
has disappeared, to be sure that all the poison is 
out of the system. 

The flat condylomes (wart-like growths) or 
eruptions must be cleaned several times a day with 
luke-warm water, previously boiled. 

If there is an inflammation of the mucous 
membrane of the throat, rinse out quite often with 
lemon-water. 

Be very careful not to use anything too hot 
nor too cold. Avoid all kinds of alcoholic drinks- 
and tobacco in any form. For removing the in- 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 91 

flammation of the mucous membrane in the nose 
use the same rinsing- as prescribed for the throat. 
The inhaling- of steam in which some herbs may 
be placed, such as shave grass, etc. is very good. 

For the eruptions on the face I cannot too 
highly recommend the steaming process. The 
eruptions usually disappear after the first couple 
of applications. 

The diseased skin and bones are brought back 
to health by steam and hot tub baths. The pains 
are removed by the application of hay-flower com- 
presses. 

To use and apply all these natural remedies 
scientifically, so that a permanent cure will be es- 
tablished, I must advise again to enter a sanitari- 
um where all these natural remedies are used, and 
a cure will never fail. 

TERTIARY SYPHILIS. 

If a syphilis in the first and second stage does 
not heal it then develops in the inside organs. 
Very frequently nothing marks the passage from 
the second to the third stage. The general svmp- 
toms pass immediately over into the form of the 
late syphilis. In other cases there will be a rest of 
several weeks, months or years, before the ter- 
tiary syphilis has developed. The main symptoms 
of this disease are the forming of nodular tumors, 
which later form into ulcers which disintegrate (de- 
cay). These nodules and ulcers of the skin gen- 



92 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

erally appear on the face, fore-head, nose, and in 
the hair of the head and breast about the size of a 
lentil. If a natural treatment is used these nod- 
ules disappear entirely without leaving- a sign, 
and if a treatment of this kind is taken in time the 
forming of ulcers and decaying, which always 
leaves a scar, can be entirely prevented. If these 
nodules form in the important organs of life pre- 
vention of death is impossible. 

The bones that become affected from the nod- 
ules are generally those which lie close to the sur- 
surface of the skin, such as the tibia (shin bone), 
sternum (breast bone), cranium (skull bone), 
clavicle (colarboue), the ribs, etc. 

These nodules reach the size of a hazelnut. 
They are painful and can be recognized by the 
sense of touch. Generally the decay breaks open 
to the outer surface, under destruction of a piece 
of bone. The loss of this substance only heals 
through connective tissues by leaving a scar. 

The muscles usually undergo the same pro- 
cess especially the thick fleshy muscular parts 
such as the thighs and upper arms. 

These hard nodules disappear through ab- 
sorption or disintegration, by leaving tender for- 
mations, which cause stiffness and uselessness of 
the muscles. 

These nodules can appear in and on the nose 
the same decaying and destroying a piece thereof. 
By the destroying of quite a piece of cartilage of 
the broad point of the nose the same will sink, and 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 93 

in place of seeing- two nose holes we see but one. 
If the bone-wall within the nose becomes destroyed 
then the bridge of the nose will sink in and we 
have a so-called depressed nose. If the decay 
passes to the ethmoid bone, the cribriform bone of 
the nose and the plate of the same it very often 
ruins the sense of smell, a lasting incapacity may 
be the result. 




Tritiary Syphilitic Ulcers iu Mouth and Throat. 

The disintegration of an ulcer can cause a 
communication of the nose and mouth cavity 
which interferes with speech. The pains and sub- 
jective complaints from all such heavy anatomical 
alterations are very slight. 



94 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

The lungs trachea (wind pipe), the organs of 
digestion, kidneys, sexual organs, organs of cir- 
culation, the nervous system, etc., will all be at- 
tacked by these nodular tumors which cause great 
disasters. It would lead too far and take too much 
time and space to describe all the symptoms and 
stages of every organ of a person diseased in this 
way. I hope what has been said about tertiary 
syphilis will be sufficient for a somew T hat clear 
understanding of this dreadful disease. I sincerly 
hope that no person will ever enter the later stage 
of syphilis. The natural remedies will protect you 
from entering into this stage. 

Any person can see that a self-treatment in 
such diseases is entirely impossible. Such a dis- 
ease can only be cured in a sanitarium where the 
natural remedies are used. 

You may have all the poison cleansed from 
your system if not already half in the grave. Do 
not undergo a treatment where rubbing or intro- 
duction of mercury is used, this is only more poi- 
son put into the system. One poison is easier 
driven from the system than two. 

TREATMENT. 

For the benefit of those not acquainted with 
natural treatments and their merits I will endeavor 
to illustrate why it is the only correct method in 
the world that will help such persons affected with 
this horrible disease. You cannot extinguish fire 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 95 

with fire. Therefore no one can drive poison out 
of the system with poison. 

The main object of our treatment is to drive 
this syphilitic poison out of the system and to re- 
move all disturbances caused by the disease. To 
accomplish this, the hygienic system of healing is 
nature itself. * The process that builds up, and 
keeps our body, will also destroy the syphilitic 
poison which is metabolism, a change of the intri- 
cate conditions of cells, constructive or destructive. 

Some of my readers have probably heard the 
expression that a person changes every seven 
years. Our body is built of cells which come and 
go. That is the old ones die off and new ones 
form. The new cells arise from the food we eat, 
and the old ones are excreted or thrown off. The 
waste material of the blood is excreted through 
the liver, kidneys and skin. We notice that the 
skin scales off from time to time. 

The syphilitic poison must therefore, through 
the disintegration of the tissues where the poison 
is seated, also be excreted from the body as waste 
material. 

A syphilitic person, I may say, is to be newly 
formed again. The old poisoned useless tissues 
must be thrown off, and new tissue which is free 
from poison must take its place. The old jnust 
*all and new life bloom out of the ruins. This 
so-called new up-building or metabolism takes 
place regularly in a healthy body. As soon as the 



96 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

least little stag-nation happens, the foundation for 
a disease is laid. 

In a syphilitic system we not only find a dis- 
turbed metabolism, but also that poison which is 
an obnoxious foreign matter. This poor meta- 
bolism is caused by the syphilitic poison, it needs 
assistance, so that a better metabolism will take 
place. These poisoned tissues must be removed 
as soon as possible, and new unpoisoned tissues 
organized before the whole system is infiltrated 
through this syphilitic poison. 

The excretion of the consumed, useless ma- 
terial as well as the foreign matter (syphilitic poi- 
son) takes place through the skin, intestines, kid- 
neys and lungs. Our treatment assists this excre- 
tion. Yes, even more, it accelerates the same. 
Through perspiration we can greatly improve the 
metabolism and excretion. 

To purify the blood of the lungs good breath- 
ing exercises in clean fresh air are very essential. 
For the excretion of foreign matter through the 
intestines a good evacuation of the bowels is 
necessary. The poison matter which forms at 
terminals produces metabolism itself, leaving our 
organism through the skin and kidneys. These 
organs assist each other; if one becomes tired the 
other doubles its activity. The steam bath is the 
best remedy for a copious perspiration of the body. 
This also opens the pores. Through free perspir- 
ation we withdraw considerable fluid from the 
body, every organ, tissue and cell, must give off 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 97 

its fluid and healthy ones will take their places. 
The poison is being- drawn up through these tis- 
sues, and in its place the contents of new cells 
formed. By these steam baths not only the fluid 
of the cell is forced to quick changes but also the 
albumin of the same. 

The main factor in the treatment of syphilis 
is therefore the steambath, which is to be taken 
each or every other day with a milk pack in con- 
nection. How often and how long it should be 
used depends on the constitution of the patient. 
After these proceedings, for removing the poison 
which accumulates on the surface of the skin, a 
tub-bath of 90° F. must be taken. For the last 
few minutes while in the bath cool it down to 85° 
F. Further remedies for stimulating the assimi- 
lation are massage, sun-baths. On days when the 
sun does not shine electric light baths can be 
taken. 

So far my dear reader I have made you ac- 
quainted with those remedies, which produce a 
good quick metabolism and excretion. My next 
object will be to make you acquainted with those 
remedies which will build up new healthy cells. 
These remedies we find in a pure vegetable diet; 
but not a bit more should be taken than is neces- 
sary to substitute cells. To prevent over filling of 
the tissues and dilution of the blood, we recom- 
mend a dry diet, (the Schrot Cure). If a tissue 
contains to much fluid a dissolving of the poison 
is easier brought on. A too much thinned blood, 



98 THR NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

contains very little nourishment for the tissues, 
therefore the gaining of strength and new vitality- 
is impossible. No fluid whatever must be taken, 
as the body is to be dehydrated. If the thirst be 
very great a tablespoonful of lemon water can be 
taken. Soups and gravies must be discarded as 
well as spices, such as pepper, salt, mustard, 
catsup, vinegar, tobacco, etc. The diet must 
consist of thick cooked gruels, vegetables; bread 
— whole wheat bread . This flour can be purchased 
in most any grocery store, if not, I can furnish 
you with it. Potatoes are stimulating for, the kid- 
neys and must not be eaten. 

I hope that my warnings for those that are, 
uninfected and for those that are infected are not 
in vain. I must repeat it again, to those that are 
infected, to get cured at once, without delay. It 
is your duty to humanity.

CHAPTER XVI. 

VARICOCELE. 

By varicocele we understand an enlargement 
of the veins of the spermatic chord, epididymis and 
testicles. In varicocele the pampini-form plexus 
is generally enlarged and all the veins of the chord 
usually involved. There Is a knotty swelling giv- 
ing a feeling, when examined by the fingers, like 
a convolution of earthworms. The swelling be- 
comes smaller upon compression, or in a horizon- 
tal position, and enlarges again on standing erect. 
It is almost invariably found on the left side; and 
the testicle on the affected side is generally small- 
er and softer than the other. 

The predisposing causes are a long tortuous 
spermatic vein on the left side, the absence of 
support of the veins of the surrounding muscles, 
and the imperfect valves. The entry of the left 
spermatic vein into the renal vein is at a right an- 
gle, instead of an acute angle like the right vein. 
It is more liable to compression on the left sper- 
matic vein by accumulation of faeces in the sig- 



100 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

moid flexure (the S shaped portion of the colon, 
above the rectum). The exciting- causes are 
straining- -during stool, heavy lifting, excessive 
sexual indulgence or anything that would bring 
more blood to the testicles. Varicocele is similar 
to the varicose state of the hsemorrhoidal veins, 
(piles) and may have like causes. 

The symptoms are a dull dragging' sensation 
and some times prostration (extreme nervous ex- 
haustion) weakness and depression of spirits. 

TEATMENT. 

Varicocele is another disease where medical 
quacks have tried to frighten young men. They 
have also succeeded in soaking a good many of 
them. In almost every newspaper, we find an 
advertisement about varicocele, wherein they 
recommend a wonderful treatment for this disease. 
Very often the remedies that are used in such 
cases are not only useless, but are the ruin of 
the one who takes such stuff. Of course the 
patient gets relieved, that is of his money and 
health. 

The cause is very seldom looked for and con- 
sequently it remains as it was. If the cause is this 
or that, remove it. If you can not do this consult 
a natural physician. Use a sitzbath of 70° to 75° 
F. to strengthen the muscles. A suspensory 
bandage during the beginning of a treatment is 
advisable. Avoid all sexual excesses of any kind. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 101 

The use of alcohol must be discontinued. Live 
on an unstimulating diet. If constipated use in- 
jections and regulate the bowels with your diet. 
Too much walking- and standing must be prevent- 
ed. If no sitzbath can be taken then sponge the 
scrotum about three times daily with cool water 
and knead the same slightly each time. A stimu- 
lating sponging about every other day is also very 
beneficial. To obtain a stimulating sponging, 
first use the water at about 100° F. for half a min- 
ute, then directly after this use water of 60° to 75° 
F. for a quarter of a minute. Repeat this process 
from three to four times. Avoid everything that 
may excite your sexual organs.

CHAPTER XVII. 

DANGER OF INFECTION 

OF SEXUAL DISEASES. 

The contagion of gonorrhoea is not so great as 
that of syphilis. The contagion mostly occurs 
through sexual intercourse; although the poison 
can also be administered to the eyes through a 
towel which may lead to total blindness, and in 
other forms the contagion of gonorrhoea may be 
carried further. In factories and lodging- houses 
where many use the same towels the dangers of 
contagion are increased. 

The syphilitic contagion is much greater: 
First, through sexual intercourse; in the closet; 
yes even by kissing. An infection at the closet 
can be administered as follows: When the syphi- 
litic pus has been deposited on the seat through 
the penis, any little wound or scratch on the 
penis or abdomen can take up the matter deposited 
on the seat and bring on the disease. Therefore 
be very careful when using- public closets. Wipe 
off the seat before using the same or better yet lay 
paper thereon after the same has been wiped off. 
Also be careful in using paper which may lie 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 103 

around if there shouldn't happen to be any toilet 
paper handy. The paper can be infected, if a 
syphilis or gonorrhoea patient handles the same, 
through the fingers. 

Syphilis can be transmitted through a kiss as 
already stated. Never kiss or hug a prostitute or 
any person before you are positive that they are 
not syphilitically affected. Syphilitic barbers and 
hair dressers often transmit the disease on the 
cheeks, the chin and the mouth of the customers, 
and from these places it is often transmitted to 
the woman through a kiss, hugging, etc. We 
know that there are often small pustules on the 
lips and cheeks, or very small almost invisible 
scratches on the skin, which may cause contagion. 
Yes, there have been cases of infection caused by 
the mother kissing- one of her children which had 
been playing with children whose parents have 
syphilis. It is not necessarily said that the child- 
ren carrying such syphilitic pus are afflicted 
therewith ; they may be perfectly healthy and 
thereby still carry the disease to their parents 
through kissing. 

Cleanliness is the best preventive. Further, 
it is advisable not to sleep with any person affect- 
ed with any kind of pimples, pustules, ulcers, 
open wounds, in short with signs of any kind of 
disease, and especially not with those afflicted 
with discharges on the sexual organs. It is not 
always said that with a discharg-e of mucous it is 
syphilis. It may be the so-called white flowing 



104 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

which is not considered contagious. Nevertheless 
it is better not to stay with any person having 
any kind of a flow from their sexual organs as a 
layman is not able to disting-uish gonorrhoea from 
white flowing. A peculiar redness on the outer 
mucous membrane is also a signal of warning. 
I will describe a simple process by which any 
person can recognize the condition of female sex- 
ual diseases although it may not always be cer- 
tain. If you are not perfectly sure, moisten your 
fing-er, and dip it in cig-ar ashes and then touch 
the vulva and the vagina. The diseased parts are 
thereby subjected to the irritating salts of the 
ashes and cause a burning- pain, if the parts are 
healthy they are not subject to this pain.

CHAPTER XVIII. 

HARDENING OF THE SYSTEM 

ESPECIALLY THE GLAXS PENIS. 

The main object is a good and free circulation 
of the blood, especially in these particular organs. 

While the body is being improved through 
gymnastics, sports, water, air and sun-baths; not 
only cleaning hands and face every day but the 
entire body, and especially in the morning upon 
arrising to sponge the entire body with water of 
70° to 80° F. in a room of 70° F. temperature in 
case no plunge bath can be taken. The quality 
of the blood is improved through an unstimulating, 
natural diet by discarding the fashionable poisons 
such as alcohol, tobacco, pepper, spices, tea and 
coffee. A hardening of the penis can especially 
be accomplished by frequently washing with cold 
water. A decoction of boiled down oak bark is also 
very beneficial. This makes the skin tougher 
and therefore resists the infections better. Fur- 
thermore, it is best to keep the prepuce back and 
leave the glans uncovered; this hardens the mu- 
cous membrane thereby preventing injuries easier. 



106 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 



Scratches and injuries are the main cause of in- 
fection, especially chancre. In case the foreskin 
is too long the same should be circumcized, as 
too narrow orifice will cause injury easier in both 
sexes and the dangers of infection will be in- 
creased.

CHAPTER XIX. 

SEXUAL DISEASES 

OF ANCIENT RACKS. 

The beginning of sexual diseases is unknown, 
but in the oldest works which have been written, 
we find these diseases mentioned. As in works of 
Hippokrates, Galen and others. In the III Book 
of Moses C. 15, we read of the uncleanness of 
the sexual organs. Remedies for prevention were 
also used by the ancients. According to Sextus 
Placitus Papyriensis the genitals of a deer should 
be carried for the prevention of buboes.* 

The following preventive was used for gonor- 
rhoea of a female according to Galen. t 

"Wash with green gall-nut, ashes and wine, 
or extract of gall-nut with honey and nitrum for 
rubbing." 

All these mysterious remedies and also the 
remedies used to-day, as opium and medicines, 
are useless and have no healing power in them, 
although it can to a certain extent be healed 
through cleanliness and regularity.

PART II. 

CHAPTER I. 

FEMALE SEXUAL ORGANS. 

Not only shall a person possess the knowledge 
of himself but also of the opposite sex; and also 
know what miseries are caused through ignorance. 
Too much cannot be written or said on this sub- 
ject, and I hope that my lady readers will appre- 
ciate what has been written for their interest and 
welfare. Do not hesitate to learn what might 
save you from great distress. The present condi- 
tions require it; and therefore I am especially 
anxious to have young ladies study this booklet 
because we cannot come to misery if we ward our- 
selves against it. 

THE EXTERNAL ORGANS. 

As in the case of men so also are the sexual 
organs of a woman divided into external and in- 
ternal organs. Hence, I will begin with the ex- 
ternal organs. Above the os-pubis (pubic bone) 
at the lower end of the abdomen lies the mons 



110 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

veneris, a femanine original aggregation of fatty 
skin, at the time of puberty covered with hair. 
Below the mons veneris, between the two thighs 
is the pudendum, consisting of two large nym- 
phas, between which is found the furrow or fissure 
(bima vulva) with the clitoris, and the small 
labia pudendum; between which the opening of 
the urethra and the entrance of the vagina are vis- 
ible. The large labia pudendum, two membranes 
running from front to back, partly covered with 
hair like on the mons veneris, lie close together 
in young women so that the fissure can only be 
noticed by a shallow groove. After several inter- 
courses however, and especially after a woman has 
born children, this groove is enlarged and the parts 
enclosed by the labia pudendum are more visible; 
namely the small labia pudendum which is a little 
longer than the others. Towards the back where 
they enter the perinaeum they are covered with a 
thin membrane, which disappears after the first 
confinement. The inner surface of the large labia 
pudendum is covered with a mucous membrane 
which also covers the entire cavity of the female 
sexual organs. 

CLITORIS 

The Clitoris is similar to the penis of a male, 
only smaller, in which the urethra is missing, and 
is found in the front part of the fissure where it 
unites with the small labia pudendum. Its size 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. Ill 

varies. It is the largest at the time of intercourse. 
It is the most delicate part of the generative or- 
gans together with the small fissure, which is also 
a very enticing, purely voluptuous organ. 

During sexual intercourse these organs are 
subject to a slight tender rubbing of the penis, 
and the pleasing sensations felt during intercourse 
are usually caused thereby. Self-abuse is gener- 
ally accomplished by irritating the clitoris and the 
labia pudendum. 

VAGINA. 

The Vagina is a canal, covered w T ith mucous 
membrane and has many folds and wrinkles; it 
is slightly curved and leads to the womb, the 
end of which is fastened so that it extends into the 
womb. The vagina lies between the bladder and 
the rectum, and is in womanhood about three to* 1 
four inches long and from one to two inches wide. 
The walls are thin, elastic, extensible, 
muscular and plethoric (rich in blood). At 
the orifice of the vulva, the vagina in womanhood 
is especially well developed. A double grooved 
fold of the mucous membrane of the vagina ex- 
tends forward. The hymen partly closes the 
opening which leaves out the menses, which is an 
excretion of the mucous membrane of the womb. 
The opening is necessary for copulation in order 
to admit the penis into the vagina wherein the se- 
men is deposited. The hymen during the first 



112 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER, 

copulation tears, causing- pain and the loss of 
some blood, because the orifice is to small for the 
penis. The hymen can also resist the entrance of 
the penis. Sometimes it is necessary to lance the 
same. It may happen that the hymen tears 
before the first copulation, caused by jumping- or 
some other injury. By this we see that the tear- 
ing of the hymen is not always the sign of copu- 
lation. 



SPHINCTER MUSCLE. 

A circular muscle, which contracts the orifice, 
especially in females not having had a confine- 
ment whereby the enticement upon copulation is 
greater on both sexes. Through repeated inter- 
course and after confinement it relaxes and the 
copulation, especially for the male, becomes less 
enticing. The will of a female has an influence 
upon the contraction of the sphincter muscle only 
to increase but cannot diminish it entirely. Sexual 
intercourse is more agreeable and easier through 
secretion of mucous, which is witnessed in sexual 
intercourse, caused by this voluptious feeling. 

At the most excited moment, during the ejac- 
ulation of the semen, a contraction of the sphinc- 
ter muscle of the anus occurs in both male and fe- 
male, and at the same time the discharge of a 
fluid, the nature and source of which is unknown, 
the quantity being different in every individual. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 113 

THE UTERUS 

The Uterus is that part in which the develop- 
ment of the fruit is preserved until confinement. 
It lies at the upper end of the vagina and extends 
to the lower end or mouth of the wound. The 
uterus is about three inches long- and one and one- 
half inches wide and one inch thick before the 
first confinement. After several confinements 
these dimensions are considerably increased. The 
most essential organ of generation is held together 
and in its place by strong, stout, muscular liga- 
ment, the so-called Uterine ligaments. The womb 
is a very flexible organ and the size during preg- 
nancy can be that of a good sized head. After 
birth the uterus returns to its normal size. 

PUBERTY. 

Puberty is reached at the age of twelve to 
sixteen years, in warm climates earlier, and in 
northern climates later, or at the time a female 
begins to menstruate, to discharge the menses 
(a periodic flow of blood or bloody fluid from the 
uterus) recurring every four weeks. The menses 
in a healthy female last from three to five days. 
At the age of fourty-five to fifty years the menstru- 
ation ceases, and also the impregnation. Some 
still menstruate at the age of sixty-five. During 
the last years of menstruation the menses gradu- 
ally diminish; they may stay away for several 
months and then return again, until finally it 



114 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

ceases altogether. This is called ''Change of 
life." During- pregnancy the menses cease to 
flow although they may in some few cases appear 
during the first months of pregnancy. 



CAUSE OF MENSTRUATION. 

Menstruation or the discharge of blood from 
the womb every four weeks is caused by a reflex 
irritation from the bursting of the ovum, and the 
entering of the expelled e^^ from the ovum into 
the fallopian tube, which brings on a repletion of 
blood in the mucous membrane of the womb and 
discharging of the same to the outer surface. 



FALLOPIAN TUBES. 

The Fallopian Tubes are a pair of organs 
which are situated on the right and left side of the 
womb. Each fallopian tube is a membraneous, 
thin canal, extending conically up and outward, 
and is about four inches long. Entering into the 
uterus on one side and under the ovary with an 
opening into the peritonal cavity. The object of 
these fallopian tubes are to leave the eggs pass 
from the ovaries into the womb. Here the rip- 
ening of the e^^ takes place. It can also happen 
that the embryo develops here. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 115 

THE OVARIES. 

The Ovaries are a pair of organs which are 
situated on the right and left sides of the uterus, 
and are in direct connection with the uterus 
through the fallopian tubes. Here is where the 
impregnation of the egg takes place. The devel- 
opment of the embryo can happen here also. 

The duty of the ovaries are the production of 
ova which are necessary for impregnation. Every 
four weeks an egg passes from the ovaries through 
the fallopian tube into the uterus, if not impreg- 
nated it passes away at menstruation; thus during 
the years of menstruation in a healthy female of 
thirty to thirty-five years from 400 to 500 of these 
ova are formed in the ovaries. The ovaries, just 
like the uterus, is held in place by legiments.

. CHAPTER II. 

SELF-ABUSE IN FEMALES. 

CAUSES AND CHARACTERISTICS. 

The homage of self-abuse in women is just as 
prevalent as in men; yes, many authors claim 
that it is more often practiced. The results are 
more severe and ruination occurs much quicker. 
Dr. Boehm, M. D., writes as follows: 

"The self-abuse which is practiced among 
females is often the result of diseases in the sex- 
ual organs, this lays the foundation for a chronic 
catarrh of the vagina. Through oft repeated irri- 
tation hypertrophy (thickening of the walls of an 
organ) of the labia pudendum will occur. " 

A great many sexual diseases are caused by 
this foolish doing, from the irritation which is 
brought on through the use of all kinks of instru- 
ments or finger, which are used in the vagina, to 
bring on the irritating sensation. Yes, my own 
experience has taught me that the ladies practice 
this self-abuse, more so than the men. The irri- 
tibility of the sexual organs in ladies is just as 
great as in men, but they are in a greater posses- 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 117 

sion of modesty and will-power- in this line. They 
can control themselves easier and instead of inter- 
coursing - , practice self-abuse. 



CAUSE OF SELF-ABUSE. 

The cause of self-abuse in women is about the 
same as that in men; and can be studied in Part 
I of this book, as also the treatment. Through a 
knowledge of the sexual organs and their func- 
tions and making them reacquainted with the re- 
sults which follow such errors, it is very easy to 
induce a woman to stop this ruining of her body, 
providing- she lives and dresses naturally. It is 
very necessary, that silence on the part of the 
parents, pertaining to sexual matters in regard to 
their children, should be stopped immediately. 

Just consider for one moment dear mothers 
what a nameless mischief ignorance can bring to 
your daughters. It may be that you had some sad 
experience of your own, and not for anything in 
this wide world, if a prevention is possible, would 
you let your children undergo the same experience 
which may cost their life. 

Discard this prejudiced shame, and enlighten 
your daughter, she will be thankful to you all her 
life. In place of harmful exciting novels, give 
her a book which will make her acquainted with 
her body and its functions, and you will bring 
blessings. 



118 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

The great words of R. Gerling in his book, 
(Education on Matrimony), writes: 

il Now mothers give this book into the hands 
of your fifteen or sixteen year old daughters. 
They shall read it in the quiet chamber in earnest 
consecratious hours. It will show her chastity, 
bliss, it will show her the error of her sins, it un- 
veils to them the mystery of love and points out 
the earnestness in life. She will recognize how 
you, with pain bore her into the world, nourished 
her with your own heart's blood; how you had to 
work for her sake; how you had to suffer to bring 
her into the world." 

Yes mothers, I know you will try to prevent 
your daughters from the misery and unhappiness. 
You may have done it, but in a wrong way; 
most likely the way your mother did with you. 
This is the wrong- way; the cause must be re- 
moved, the bad habits which bring on the misery 
must be stopped. Then this life will be filled with 
happiness and delight, the heaven will be on 
earth! Health gives us everything; without it 
we loose everything - . 

Generally it is easier to recog-nize the errors 
of females than of males. They carry the impres- 
sion of this vice on their face, the whole appear- 
ance shows it. The effects of self-abuse in ladies 
makes itself knowm by different nervous disorders, 
which may enter into hysterics, or epileptic fits. 
Yes, many of our women are committed in our 
insane asylums, self-abuse being- the sole cause. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 119 

They feel down-hearted capricious, don't care to 
live, often become hypochondrish, the look star- 
ing-, indigestion retarded, which gives a disagree- 
able odor to the breath. The face becomes pale 
and dirty, dark rings appear around the eyes, 
small beads of perspiration are often seen on the 
tip of the nose. A young lady who has practiced 
self-abuse, a few times in her days, which was 
brought on through a stimulating diet, can be en- 
tirely healthy. But a self-abuse practiced for 
many years and usually in }oung years with full 
energy, will bring sad results. 

If we persue a close research of our ladies of 
to-day; how many miserable pitiful shapes would 
we see? With powder and paint they try to hide 
the signs of self-abuse, which show up in the face. 

Gentlemen be careful; these results w 7 ill show 
later, generally at confinement. Ladies, nothing 
else can and does give you and tells you more, or 
makes you acquainted with everything necessary 
to health than the science of natural living — Hy- 
giene. Join a health society and drop the sick 
societies. Nothing is more important to any lady 
than to be instructed in the. laws of health. 

If any of my readers suffer from any kind of 
trouble, and can not obtain relief from the advice 
given here, I will be glad to give further advice 
or assistance at my Sanitarium. You will have the 
best opportunity to get back again, that which 
you have lost — Health!

CHAPTER III. 

FEMALE 
GONORRHOEA. 

Without enlightenment we cannot expect any 
banishment of the misery which is prevailing- at 
the present time. There are many of our women 
to-day, that are affected with gonorrhoea, but they 
often mistake it for leiicorrhcea. Hence they 
think it is harmless, and never try to get cured. 
Sometimes very serious troubles arise from this 
otherwise easily cured disease, which may cost a 
patient her life. 

The causes of leucorrhoea are numerous, caus- 
tics and other chemical substances, urine persa- 
rys, and tampous, too cold or too warm vagenial 
injections, cold feet, going to an outside closet 
where there is too much draft, measels, scarlet 
fever, diphtheria, typhoid, etc. 

But the cause from this trouble is often from 
gonorrhoea. So we see how important it is to 
write about such diseases, enlightening our ladies. 
Books generally written either for men or for wo- 
men only prove to be wrong. It is as necessary 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 121 

for a man to understand the sexual nature of a 
woman as it is to know himself. A woman must 
have the same understanding-. If this were the 
case I hardly think that anyone, male or female, 
could do such harm to the opposite sex as that 
which they are doing- to-day. There ought to be 
a law enacted in the legislature that anyone, male 
or female, who infects another be punished. Yes, 
just as well as any other law. At present there is 
only one excuse, and that is ignorance.

ACUTE ' GONORRHOEA OF WOMEN. 

Acute gonorrhoea of women is generally situ- 
ated on the mucous membrane of the vagina, and 
those parts of the uterus (womb) which lay close 
to the vagina. The urethra is sometimes affected, 



122 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

and can be recognized upon pressure by the dis- 
charge of pus. Further symptoms are red, hot 
and dropsy-like swellings on the labium pudendis 
(lip-like mucous membrane of the external genital 
organs) arising just below the mons veneris sur- 
rounding the vulva entrance, and meeting at the 
interior portion of the perineum, which is covered 
on the inside with a pus that has a putrid odor. 

In the beginning of this disease a voluptious 
sensation is felt which becomes painful when ure- 
nating and gives a burning painful feeling. Very 
often a watery eruption forms on the inside of the 
upper lower limbs, caused by irritation from the 
pus, which can be very aggrevating and inconven- 
ient to the patient while walking. 

The Bartholian glands are a pair of glands 
situated at the entrance of the vagina (one on each 
side). These are generally swollen and contain a 
bloody, nasty smelling pus. This may be opened 
when ripe by lancing, or it will open naturally and 
after discharging its contents, heal up in a very 
short time if kept clean. 

TREATMENT. 

The results of medical treatments in female 
diseases are similar to those in male sexual dis- 
eases. Suffering is often caused by strong irrita- 
ting medicines. In turn these medicines and 
injections have caused cancers and all kinds of 
ulcerations. It is driven further into the system 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 123 

and brings on inflammation of the womb, fallo- 
pian tubes and ovaries, which may cause all kinds 
of disorders in these organs. 

Gonorrhoea is very often the cause of impo- 
tency in females. The only and safest treatment 
is the Natural Cure, a treatment which never harms 
but always helps. Follow the following- directions 
carefully and a cure will always occur. 

For a good circulation in the sexual organs 
I recommend a sitz bath morning, noon and night, 
80° to 85° F. of fifteen to twenty minutes duration. 
These baths must not be taken immediately after 
a meal, but an hour and a half or two hours there- 
after. A syringing of the vagina three times daily 
with a solution of shave grass, 90° F. is advisable. 

Directions for making the shave grass solu- 
tion: Take a small handful of shave grass and 
put it into a quart and a half of cool water, let it 
boil for about two minutes, strain it, cool it down 
to 90° F. One teaspoonful of lemon juice may be 
admitted in the first water for cleaning. 

The T bandage is to be worn over night, and 
sometimes during the day. If the case is quite 
severe then the bandage must be changed every 
two hours. It is best not to use the same cloth 
again, burn it. The compresses should be wrung 
out in water of 70° to 75° F. A steam bath two or 
three times a week must be taken. 

No sexual disturbances whatever should hap- 
pen during this disease. The diet must be of the 
same nature as that prescribed in male gonorrhoea. 



124 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

A sponge or tub bath every day is advisable. Dur- 
ing- the time of menstruation the injections must 
be somewhat warmer, and the T bandage will be 
changed for the one worn during menstruation. 
The tub baths, as well as the sponging must be 
omitted until the flow has ceased; but the private 
parts should be sponged with water of 95° to 100° 
F. about two times daily. Don't neglect to wash 
your hands carefully after being in contact with 
the diseased parts. Remove all dirt from under 
the nails. A good evacuation of the bowels is 
necessary. If constipated use injections as pre- 
scribed on another place, and regulate the same 
through your diet by eating fruits, vegetables, 
whole wheat bread, etc. If the Bartholian glands 
are inflamed, and an involution or seperation of 
the swelling cannot be brought on then use hot 
compresses over the glands and steam the private 
parts so that a quick forming of pus takes place, 
and the abscess opens to expel this poison. If it 
does not open when ripe then it must be lanced. 
Apply two hot compresses each day until all the 
pus is discharged. During the day bandage up as 
follows : 

Take a piece of cotton, soak it in water of 
about 75° to 80° F. which has been previously 
boiled, lay it over the sore, over this a dry piece 
of cotton (gauze), and bandage up good so that it 
does not rub and bring on more soreness and in- 
flammation. Cleanse the sores three times daily 
with water 85° to 95° F. which has been boiled. 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 125 

If these directions are followed it will not take 
long for the abscess or rather the glands to heal. 

CHRONIC GONORRHOEA 
OF WOMEN. 

Chronic gonorrhoea of women is not found as 
often as with men. It is the result of an uncured 
acute case. The bladder and kidneys are not so

Tertiary Syphilis. 

easily affected in females as in males; but the 
Bartholian glands become more so. Little hard 
nodulars form in the glands, which discharge a 
kind of pus. This is the poison that infects men 
through an intercourse. Ulcers very often form 



126 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

in the womb, fallopian tubes and ovaries. Later 
on a cancer may develop. 

TREATMENT. 

The treatment in chronic gonorrhoea is similar 
to the one described in acute cases. It only re- 
quires a little more patience, and the treatment 
must be followed very strictly. If an abscess has 
formed in any part of the sexual organs then a 
physician should be consulted. An operation can 
yet be avoided. The best thing- here is also pre- 
vention, then all the worry and suffering would be 
averted. 

Ladies if you notice anything wrong, all the 
same what it may be, consult a physician; but not 
one who intends to dose you with medicine, or per- 
form an operation. Consult one who will give 
advice, and if necessary 'help you; and such 
growths will never appear. 

Never beget children before you are positive 
that you are in perfect health.

CHAPTER IV. 

PREVENTION 
OF CONCEPTION. 

Many remedies are used now-a-days for pre- 
vention of conception; and many of the various 
roads are followed without considering- the dan- 
ger which may follow. 

The unnatural intercoarse is one of the roads 
usually followed. Such an intercourse is nothing- 
else than a Mutual Self-Abuse. 

The remedies that are being used are general- 
ly harmful and unreliable, and should be shunned. 
Let every intercourse take its natural course, then 
we will not have so many nervous wrecks. Nature 
has also made everything- complete in this line. 
If anything is done against the laws of health we 
will be punished sooner or later. What is a home 
without children? Study the science of beg-etting- 
healthy children, and this without suffering-; study 
how to educate them so that you can reap pleasure 
from them, so that they will become useful men and 
women. If you are unable to support children 
you should not g-et married. This is very easily 



128 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

said but hardly ever followed. Every man ought 
to earn enough to support a wife and family. 
There is enough to eat in this world to have the 
conditions this way. At present it is too unevenly 
distributed. Let the cause be removed here also. 

We have a law forbiding the sale of these 
remedies, but they are advertised and sold just the 
same. It seems that our law enforcers are blind 
to such. Why? The answer everyone knows. 

But all this is nothing compared with the 
murdering of children when still carried under the 
mother's heart. No punishment could be to great 
for those practicing such things. Mothers, do 
you not think it is terrible to have your children 
murdered, even if it is done before it is completely 
developed; it is murdering just the same. As 
soon as impregnation takes place the life begins. 

The egg, as stated before, awaits thirteen 
days after the beginning of menstruation for im- 
pregnation in the fallopian tubes, and if not im- 
pregnated enters into the womb, as already stated 
in another chapter. So we see that everything is 
regulated, and so many days are .set for creating 
children.

CHAPTER V. 

FEMALE DISEASES. 

I have demonstrated the consequences and the 
sin of sexual disgression of our men, and in what 
degree such sexual diseases often cause female 
troubles. But do not condemn the men whenever 
you witness or have a disorder, such as painful 
menstruation or white flow. A great many of your 
disorders are caused by your own neglectedness. 
Ignorance is often the cause; and how glad we 
would be if this could be remedied. Very often 
when it is too late we recognize our wrong doings. 
Experience teaches many women that they have 
violated the laws of life and health. Often we 
hear the expression, if I had only known in. my 
early years what I know now I never would have 
done what I did. iVnd so we see it is very impor- 
tant to instruct children, more so young ladies, in 
the science of life for the banishment of self-abuse 
and bad habits. 

The principle causes of female troubles are: 
Wearing corsets, heavy skirts, self-abuse, insuffi- 
cient bodily exercise, improper diet, neglected 
cleanliness, etc. I have only mentioned the most 



130 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 



frequent causes. If these are removed or correct- 
ed then health will generally follow.

own fault. Through your wrong- modes and ways 
you have made your life miserable; you are harsh 
towards your husband, and not capable of making 



132 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

a happy home for him, where he can, after a hard 
day's work, rest and enjoy life by the love of his 
wife. 

The wife complains to-day of this, to-morrow 
of that, and in sexual relation she is incapable of 
satisfying- his natural desires, and untruthfulness 
is the consequence. We can witness this every 
day. If you expect a happy married life, s.trive to 
make it so yourself. 

It is perfectly right that women should be op- 
posed to alcohol, but they must give the men a 
substitute. With perfect right a lady of to-day 
demands that her intended be free from bad habits, 
as smoking and drinking; but the men can also 
expect of a lady friend a perfect body, a face free 
from powder and paint, and when she enters her 
matrimonial life that she is able to perform the 
duties of a mother and beget healthy children; 
that you enjoy the best of health, without which 
no woman or man should enter matrimony, be- 
cause health brings happiness and content. Re- 
flect before you go into matrimony. Ask yourself 
the following questions, and if you can answer 
them with a happy heart, if you can say I know 
them and I can, then you can enter into matri- 
mony and you will never regret it. 

Are you in perfect health? Have you reached 
the proper age? Do you know yourself and your 
intended? Have you a knowledge of the sexual 
organs? Do you know the duties of a mother? 
Can you cook a healthy, nutritious meal? Are 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 133 

you able to bring- up your children properly? Do 
you know your duties towards your husband? If 
you cannot answer these questions with a yes, I 
know it, or I am, then try to attain it. If you 
cannot then it is better that you stay single, and 
not make a husband and your children unhappy. 

How often do we hear: "Had I known this, I 
would never have married." And if you do not 
want to bear the sham of being divorced you will 
live further on in your unhappiness. Becoming 
old too soon and wise too late is often the case. 

Now, my ladies, try and learn a little at least 
about Hygiene, it will surely pay you. Such dis- 
eases as leucorrhoea, falling of the womb, painful 
menstruation, headaches, etc. will not trouble you 
in the least. There is nothing more interesting 
than the learning of yojur own system. Many val- 
uable books have been Written thereon. 

I wish to say and warn you right here, not to 
be to anxious too have an operation performed if' 
you happen to have a little pain in the region of 
the sexual organs.- Many women can sing you a 
sad song of their experience caused by operations. 
After an important organ has been cut away the 
person is not real any more, and this also causes 
a disturbance in the circulation. The system is 
ruined and can never be righted again. The ova- 
ries or the uterus can never be replaced. 

Not only is the system ruined, but the mind 
becomes affected also. A woman is not satisfied 
with her own self and at least not her husband. 



134 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 



Shun all physicians who try to operate upon 
you. Consult a Natural Therapath, one who un- 
derstands how to relieve you of your ills with nat- 
ural advice and remedies. Yes v even more, one 
who instructs you how to prevent diseases. I am 
always willing to give you advice and treatments, 
either written or orally. Very seldom an opera- 
tion is necessary, but every one can be prevented 
if you live a natural life, or a natural treatment is 
taken before it is too late.

CHAPTER VI. 

PAINFUL 
MENSTRUATION. 

For the welfare of our women I will write 
about a trouble which is prevailing- almost in all 
of our ladies to-day. I will give you some advice 
in regard to relieving the pains during menstrua- 
tion, and how these pains may be banished in the 
future. 

Every pain and ache is unnatural, as also the 
pains during menstruation ; therefore it must be 
caused by some disturbance in these organs. It 
is only possible to be relieved of these pains by 
removing the cause. This painful menstruation 
may be due to diseased sexual organs, the ovaries, 
fallopian tubes, errors in diet or dress, from ex- 
posure, a lack of sufficient exercise, constipation, 
or a congested state of the fallopian tubes or 
mouth of the 'womb, Very often this painful 
menstruation is caused from displacement of the 
womb. All these disturbances are corrected by 
natural treatments. 



136 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

There is no need of suffering for a single m om 
ent. Do you wish to be free of these aggravating- 
pains every month? Do you not want this bloody 
discharge pass from you the same as the passing 
of urine from the bladder? I know that every one 
of you will say yes, without delay. But you are 
the ones that will make this possible. Don't 
think that you can find remedies in a drug store 
that will give you permanent relief or cure you. 

Remove the cause and nature will do the rest. 
If you cannot remove the cause, and cannot find 
the same, then consult a natural physician, he 
will surely help you. Up to the present time I 
have never failed to relieve or cure a case of pain- 
ful menstruation. If you are unable to follow out 
the instructions I have outlined here, call or write 
at once and I will give you all the information de- 
sired. There are only a very few cases in which 
the functions of nature cannot be performed. 

Those in which the organs are not developed 
and remain infantile are more or less difficult to 
cure. 

TREATMENT, 

If the cause of this painful menstruation is 
caused from constipation, regulate the bowels 
with your diet. Shim the use of the common 
white bread; eat whole wheat bread, fruit, vege- 
tables, etc. Eat slowly and masticate every mor- 
sel of your food. Remember, there are no teeth 



THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 137 

for mastication found in the stomach, therefore 
use the ones in your mouth; .give every one of 
them exercise by each mouthful of food; do not 
drink during- meals; go to stool regularly — morn- 
ings after arising- being- the best time. At first an 
injection may be used as follows: Take one quart 
of water 95° F., inject it into the bowels, hold it 
for one or two minutes; after emptying all that 
will pass off take two quarts of water, same tem- 
perature, keep the same length of time if possible, 
then pass it off. The third time use three to four 
quarts of water, this will clean the entire large in- 
testine, and is a sure preventive of appendicitis. 
After these injections it is advisable to inject a 
couple of spoonfuls of cool water, which must be 
retained. This being for absorption. Use a foun- 
tain syringe, but no .soap in the water, as soap 
irritates the mucous membrane of the intestine. 

If the cause is from diseased sexual organs do 
not delay in obtaining means that w T ill effect k 
cure. Any of the troubles mentioned above must 
be removed before you can expect a cure. 

During the time of menstruation, if accom- 
panied with pain, I recommend hot applications 
wrung out of hot water and laid over the region of 
the womb and sexual organs of ten to fifteen min- 
utes duration. Three or four of these applications 
will be sufficient to give relief. 

If the painful menstruation is caused from 
congestion the compresses must be chang-ed (first 
applying- a hot one for fifteen minutes and than a 



138 THE NATURAL SEXUAL ADVISER. 

cold one wrung out of water 60° to 70° F. for about 
two to five minutes. Repeat this process about 
four times. 

Hot or alternate sitz baths are also very good. 
Hotfoot baths, hot lemonade without sugar, vibra- 
tion massage over the sexual organs, cold com- 
presses over the lower portion of the spine are 
very effectuous.

HOW TO WIN 

OR SURE SECRETS OF SUCCESS 

Just the book to be welcomed by every live, wide-awake 
person in the land. Brimming over, with infectuous Enthus- 
iasm, New Thoughts and New Ideas. This indispensable 
book will show you in a new light the higher possibilities of 
life. 

Wants! You have many, of them. Know how to gratify 
them. The Key-Note has been discovered, and it is now given 
to the world. You must have it! 

The True Philosophy of Success — the art of pleasing, in- 
teresting, fascinating, science of manners, captivating, making 
friends of those you meet in society, or everyday social and 
business life, easily acquired. 

Philosophy of one's influence over others; you see it ex- 
erted every day by some one in your circle of friends. You 
can do the same. All possess the power, but do not under- 
stand How to use it. Develop these latent forces within you, 
for this faculty of influencing others can be cultivated to an 
unlimited extent. 

You, dear reader, possess latent talents which you know 
not of, and which, if developed, would make you happy and 
successful far beyond your wildest expectations. It is a man's 
brain and not his legs that carries him through this world; in 
brain and not in brawn lies the true power of mankind and his 
possibilities of development. Knowledge is man's rightful 
heritage. He needs but reach for it, and it is his; he can drink 
at its everlasting founts and revel in bright realms above those 
where dwell the human masses. This is no visionary theory, 
but a principle being demonstrated every day. Do not longer 
hesitate and remain in darkness regarding these facts. 

This power has been employed by the learned and brain 
of all ages, but it is only recently employed with great success 
in every profession, in business and social life. With our aid 
Personal Magnetism can be developed and made so plain that 
any intelligent person can learn to employ its invincible power 
with wonderful success, excelling the marvels of the past as 
far as day excels the night. Its value counted in dollars 
and cents can never be estimated. Men who have made their 
names imperishable for all time are those whose "Personal 
Magnetism" was cultivated in the highest degree. Such 
knowledge is not born in one any more than is the learning 
of the scientist, or great jurist, or philosopher.

pleased beyond measure. Don't delay one minute! Order at 
once! Fifth edition, 352 pages, together with many splendid

eries of the age. Through this every one who claims to be 
well, will in a short time say that his step has become more 
elastic, his spirit more buoyant, his endurance greater, and his 
strength increased ioo per cent. In whatever kind of labor 
you may be engaged, manual or mental, no matter how hard 
or severe it may be, if you follow this method, you will soon 
find you have stronger muscles, better strung nerves and a 
clearer brain. 

A theory of the origin and development of disease is un- 
folded by which a method for its cure and prevention is clearly 
shown, and this without drugs, or medicine, or any treatment 
involving financial expenditures. It also suggests a cure for 
all morbid cravings and abnormal appetites.

THE MYSTERY OF LOVE. 

The Science of Charming and Art of Fascinating. 

To know Love's Mysteries is to possess the greatest 
and best of knowledge. 

IN "THE MYSTERTES OF LOVE" a consideration of 
human nature is found. Important points which past 
writers have considered imponderable are fully discussed. A 
partial table of contents is as follows: 

The Fountain Head of all Earthly Joys; a subtle law of 
Magnetism; the essence of Love; how to gain the affections 
of the opposite sex; instantaneous love; Magnetic Currents; 
Mental Magnatism; the Magnetic Aura; the kind of women 
that men admire; an irresistable force; that which Thrills and 
Charms; men whom women admire; Magnetic Men; the Fas- 
cinating Qualities of the Sexes; something Girls should Know; 
the Power of Personal Magnetism; different kinds of Magnet- 
ism; the test of all Love; loss of Magnetism and Vital Ex- 
haustion; Ecstatic Happiness; the Law of Magnetic Attrac- 
tion; the Laws of Love; Various means of Love-making. 

This can give you but a faint idea of the real character 
and value of this book. Many books on the subject of Love 
have been published, but this is entirely different from any 
extant. Price, $2.00 postpaid. 



HEALTH FOODS 

AND HOW TO PREPARE THEM. 

The best diet for the millions ! Suits All Grades of Society ! 
Nourishing, Strengthening, Palatable, Economical, 
Pure and Nutritious! 
Subjects of Interest to Everyone! 
Original, Tempting, Wholesome Receipts! 
T^HIS is not a thrown-together collection of a lot of old 
* receipts for making slops and detestable and injurious 
foods, but is the fruit of much research and experimentation 
in the preparation of food in such a manner as to make it not 
only inviting to the eye and taste, but nourishing and digesti- 
ble, and health and strength-promoting as well. 

By adoption of a bloodless and natural diet we remove the 
cause of a large proportion of the diseases and depravity 
with which the race is cursed. 

A table is given showing the constituents of different 
foods, together with their nutritious value; also a table of 
weights and measures of great value to the busy housewife. 

A chapter on "How to Live Royally on Twenty-five 
Cents a Day" is of vast importance to the multitudes who 
find it difficult to keep the wolf from the door. 

By reference to this book dainty lunches can be prepared 
for school children, invalids, travelers, picnic parties, etc. 

The chapter on "How to Live a Hundred Years" may 
appear startling to some, but its accomplishment is most plain- 
ly possible. Hundreds have accomplished it, why not you? 

Preceding these receipts for the preparation of so many 
good things, will be found various chapters setting forth 
scientific arguments in favor of a non .flesh diet, and the re- 
sults that are proven to accrue from the adoption of a purely 
natural way of living. 

Price of this most valuable book of 258 pages, $1.25.
